Liberia & the Quest for Freedom
C. Patrick Burrowes
The trans-Atlantic Slave Trade inflicted pains, traumas and losses that cannot be ignored out of existence. Driven beneath the surface, they corrode our conscience and erode our humanity. By pretending they did not occur, we destroy our ability to tell right from wrong and victims from villains. This is especially true for Liberia, a country to which blacks from the Americas returned.
