Establishment of Liberia
Podcast: History DispatchesPublished On: Tue Oct 28 2025
Description: In 1847, a group of former slaves from the Americas established the nation of Liberia on the west coast of Africa. Many people hailed the move as an option for other blacks in the Americas. And while that sounds all well and good, it would be a much more complex and divisive effort. This is the story of the establishment of Liberia.
