Well, not if you're one of the >1.6 million kids slaving away in West Africa (or Brazil or Latin America) for up to 14 hours/day, sometimes literally as slaves, under dangerous conditions, to produce the majority of the chocolate sold by the major candy companies, including Mars Wrigley, Ferrero, Mondelez International, Meiji Co. Ltd., Nestle and Hershey Co.
In 2021, SCOTUS ruled 8-1 that Big Chocolate had no responsibility to ensure that their products were not produced by child laborers.

Fascinated by this Dan / Wobé Initiation Gebande Beggar Mask that is a part of our latest African art and artifacts collection. Brian has been lovingly adding details to each of these items, and learning about them is certainly fascinating. Pieter Jan Vandenhoute, author of “Classification stylistique du masque Dan et Guéré de la Cote d'Ivoire occidentale” (1948), distinguished two large groups of Dan Masks: the Gebande and the Genome. Gebande is the most sacred examples of Dan Masks while Genome is a lower rank of Masks. The classifications relate to the content which the Dan attribute to the Mask, rather than the appearance of the Mask. Gebande Masks can be divided into a series of subgroups and categories, and this particular example is a Beggars’ Mask, whose primary purpose would be to be used in the collection of offerings for ancestors. Hand crafted in forest wood with a decoration of cotton fabric, inlaid with cowry shells and bells in bronze, this example is a true beauty.

Blinken Visit Ivory Coast to Strengthen Diplomatic Ties
U.S. Secretary of State Antony #Blinken landed in #IvoryCoast on Monday, the second stop of his four-nation #African tour.
During his visit, Blinken attended a soccer match at Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara D’Ebimpé. He received a #jersey with his name and said ‘that he was honored to be part of the event’.
He praised Ivory Coast for hosting the tournament and emphasized the role of sports in "forging connections between people."
Blinken said, "While we are engaged in tangible infrastructure development between the United States and Ivory Coast, events like these contribute to building connections between people. #Sports, in particular, excels at achieving this."
The secretary's African tour spans Cape Verde, #Ivory Coast, #Nigeria and #Angola. It's a strategic move by President #Biden's administration to maintain global engagement amid crises in #Ukraine, the #MiddleEast, and the Red Sea region.
Discussions will focus on regional security, conflict prevention, democracy promotion, and #trade. The trip highlights the administration's efforts to boost ties in Africa through sports diplomacy and people-to-people connections.
