Liberian Independence Day Celebration
brought to you by A.T.H. INC, BLK Money Ent, Sound Crew Entertainment
By Kendric Bedell

The annual tradition of Liberia’s Independence Day celebrations since July 26, 1847 is upon us. This year will mark Liberia's 164 Independence Anniversary. This is the moment when during official and other observances, Liberians showcase their bright and the brightest as news makers in a convoluted national journey. The American Colonization Society (The Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color of America), founded in 1816, was the primary vehicle to support the "return" of free African Americans to what was considered greater freedom in Africa. The slaveholders opposed abolition, but saw repatriation as a way to remove free blacks and avoid slave rebellions. From 1821, thousands of free black Americans moved to Liberia from the United States. Over 20 years, the colony continued to grow and establish economic stability. In 1847, the legislature of Liberia declared the nation an independent state. Critics have said the ACS was a racist society, while others point to its benevolent origins and later takeover by men with visions of an American empire in Africa.
