Coming to Africa – The Untold Story of Liberia's Founding
In the early 19th century, African Americans pursued freedom and identity, leading to the founding of Liberia. “Coming to Africa” by Gbitee Doryen Gbitee, a Liberian author and historian, delves into the story of formerly enslaved people who, guided by the American Colonization Society, settled in Africa. These pioneers played a key role in establishing the first independent African republic, long before the independence movements began. Gbitee’s research highlights the resilient history of the African diaspora, marked by colonization and the enduring quest for freedom.
