July 21, 2010:
President Obama signed a new financial reform bill today (July 21, 2010) which includes an obscure passage that requires thousands of US companies to ensure that their products don't contain "conflict minerals" from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Some hope that this will be a step toward the international community curbing trade on other items such as "blood diamonds".
This painting depicts a woman from the Congo dressed in the iconic pink dress and gloves that Marilyn Monroe wore while performing the song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" in the movie "Gentlemen prefer Blondes".
