“What is a living reality without experience? If there is anything about which we feel to be true, it is that the world we endure is authentic. We can see, touch and hear it. Our conscious existence of presence is an exhibition within the mind, but in many other occurrences, some of us rarely accept that we create our own realities.” Liberian WriterLiberia HistoryLiberia Poet Book:Liberian Son Source: Liberian Son

“The future of Liberia belongs to citizens, who see wrong and speak against it because what does not affect you, affect others. The future of Liberia belongs to "patriots" who preach "CHANGE" and are not merely moved by money or in the closet deals to surround themselves with the same people who are part of the system. The future of Liberia belongs to the market, who don't anything but have managed to cope with the hard times. The future of Liberia belongs to Liberians, who had been fed "DEMOCRACY" and have come to accept it, even when what is written in the book doesn't work for "all" voices but individual voices who are well connected and protected to speak. The future of Liberia is at a crossroad.” Liberian QuotesHenry Johnson Jr QuotesLiberian HistoryLiberia HistoryHenry Johnson Jr Liberian Writer Author:Henry Johnson Jr
“How to become the President of Liberia from “Liberia & Beyond” In 1973, Charles Taylor enrolled as a student at Bentley University, in Waltham, Massachusetts. A year later Taylor became chairman of the Union of Liberian Associations in America, which he founded on July 4, 1974. The mission of ULAA was meant to advance the just causes of Liberians and Liberia at home and abroad. In 1977 Taylor graduated from Bentley University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics. Returning to Liberia he supported the violent coup, led by Samuel Doe, and became the Director General of the General Services Agency most likely because of his supposed loyalty. His newly acquired elevated position put him in charge of all the purchases made for the Liberian government. Taylor couldn’t resist the urge of stealing from the till, and in May of 1983, he was found out and fired for embezzling nearly a million dollars in State funds. During this time he transferred his ill-gotten money to a private bank account in the United States. On May 21, 1984, seizing the opportunity, Taylor fled to America where he was soon apprehended and charged with embezzlement by United States Federal Marshals in Somerville, Massachusetts. Taylor was held in the Plymouth, County jail until September 15, 1985, when he escaped with two of his cohorts, by sawing through the steel bars covering a window in his cell. He precariously lowered himself down 20 feet of knotted sheets and then deftly escaped into the nearby woodlands. He most likely had accomplices, since his wife Jewel Taylor conveniently met him with a car, which they then drove to Staten Island in New York City.” MmaMassachusettsLiberiaLiberia HistoryWarlordCharles TaylorBentley University Author:Captain Hank Bracker, "Salty & Saucy Maine"

“Because of greed and immorality on the part of the foreign invaders that came to enrich themselves, and local tribal politicians that abused the trust placed in them by their people, much of Liberia’s wealth has been squandered. The two civil wars and the Ebola plague that the indigenous people had to endure were devastating and yet, in spite of the pain that has been inflicted, the country still has great potential and is waiting for the influence of a new generation of Liberians that hopefully will have a more positive outlook. Although the United States and the American Colonization Society helped form and sometimes stabilize the country, Liberia is the only African country that has never been a colony. As usual, it is not because of the many impoverished people that inhabit the country, but rather it is because of human greed and the lust for power of the few, that the country floundered and was plunged into two unforgiving civil wars. During the time that I was there, I was a young man who looked idealistically at the world as an exciting place to find adventure. Fortunately I still see things through the same youthful eyes, and for that I’m grateful! However, I have also become more cynical and can now better understand that every rosebush has thorns.” Poor PeopleEbolaAfrican HistoryLiberia HistoryCivil Wars Author:Capt Hank Bracker, The History of Liberia & West Africa
