"Also, two college campuses [in Louisville], huge prevalence there – we are a huge college community. So if the statistics are one and six, just think of our own community."The significance of wearing denim comes from an Italian rape trial, where a judge ruled that a victim's blue jeans could have only been removed by the victim.  To protest the decision, California legislators wore denim and the idea spread to other cities.
