Harvard University’s Legacy of Slavery: New Report Documents How It Profited, Then Tried to Erase It
Harvard University’s Legacy of Slavery: New Report Documents How It Profited, Then Tried to Erase It Kwabena Ofori Osei 69 Views • 5 years ago

Harvard University released a 134-page report this week that detailed the school’s extensive ties to slavery and pledged $100 million for a fund for scholars to continue to research the topic. The report documents dozens of prominent people associated with Harvard who enslaved people, including four Harvard presidents. Harvard commissioned the study in 2019 as part of a wave of schools reckoning with their pasts and the ongoing legacy of racial discrimination. “Harvard’s ties to slavery begin with the founding of the institution,” says MIT historian Craig Steven Wilder, author of “Ebony & Ivy: Race, Slavery, and the Troubled History of America’s Universities.” Wilder says that while this history is not new, Harvard worked for decades to erase its complicity in slavery. “We’re really only beginning to reconcile and to really struggle with the deep ties that this institution has to slavery,” he says.

Ivory Coast and Ghana Sign Agreement to Determine Global Cocoa Price | 10 Aug 2021
Ivory Coast and Ghana Sign Agreement to Determine Global Cocoa Price | 10 Aug 2021 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 69 Views • 5 years ago

Ivory Coast and Ghana signs agreement to determine global cocoa price - The Ghanaian and Ivorian governments have signed an Agreement in Accra for the Cote D'Ivoire - Ghana Cocoa Initiative Secretariat. This achievement will define both countries' bargaining leverage as the world's leading cocoa producers in deciding cocoa prices globally. The world's two largest cocoa suppliers, the Ivory Coast and Ghana, account for approximately two-thirds of global production, yet they have little influence over worldwide cocoa prices, which have remained low in recent times due to overproduction.
The global chocolate market is estimated to be valued at more than US $100 billion, with a few multinational corporations dominating the market.
