Former President William Tubman established the National Unification Policy that, among other things, extended the vote to women and to the country’s indigenous people. Every year since, the President of Liberia proclaims May 14th a holiday known as National Unification Day.
In a recent proclamation, President George Weah noted that the government adheres to the principles of justice, equality, fair play and equal opportunities for all, regardless of tribe or clan, section, creed, religion or economic status so that Liberians might be united in a consolidated whole.
