Author: James Ciment

In 1820 a group of roughly eighty African Americans, guided by the American Colonization Society—a white philanthropic organization with dual aims—left the United States and crossed the Atlantic to Africa. They established a coastal settlement that served as the foothold for a growing colony. With additional arrivals over the years, the settlers expanded their community, ultimately breaking free from their white overseers and founding Liberia, Africa's first black republic, in 1847.
