Friends of Liberia partnered with the San Diego World Affairs Council to host the author of a book about former slaves who migrated to Liberia in the 1800s.

Author Susan E. Lindsey joined us on Zoom to discuss her motivation for writing this book about Tolbert Major, and the extensive research that went into telling this important story.

As Friends of Liberia, it’s imperative that we understand the country’s history and how the American system of slavery impacted Liberia. If you’re interested in Liberia today, why not learn about Liberia’s history?
