The town, or at least the main street that goes by the factory. As far as I know, no orange people were enslaved.
Seriously though, Milton Hershey was surprisingly progressive for his time. He built affordable homes for his workers and helped them become home owners. The school he built was originally for orphaned boys.

The closest I can think of in the U.S.. was the Smothers Brothers. They were cancelled by the network, not the government, even though they were very popular . They frequently criticized the Vietnam war and government officials.
