USA Robs Africa Mug

The 1985 USA for Africa campaign and “We Are the World” were meant to rally the public around famine relief, using celebrity, emotion, and music to raise money and awareness for suffering on the African continent. Yet the irony is that while the song asked ordinary people to care, many of the deeper conditions that harmed Africa were tied to Western colonial extraction, unequal global power, and financial systems that continued to drain wealth from the continent long after the cameras were gone. • Ceramic • 11 oz mug dimensions: 3.8″ (9.6 cm) in height, 3.2″ (8.2 cm) in diameter • 15 oz mug dimensions: 4.7″ (11.9 cm) in height, 3.3″ (8.5 cm) in diameter • 20 oz mug dimensions: 4.3″ (10.9 cm) in height, 3.7″ (9.3 cm) in diameter • Lead and BPA-free material • Dishwasher and microwave safe • Blank product sourced from China This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.
