CRY OF THE PEPPERBIRD: A STORY OF THE WEST AFRICAN REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA

"Cry of the pepperbird: a story of Liberia" is a historical review of the founding of the first African republic, other than the "Empire" of Ethiopia, on the west coast of the continent. It provides an understanding of the tribal, ethnic, and sociopolitical and economic issues and/or problems that existed, and continue to exist to this very day, since the founding, in the early 1800s, and independence of Liberia in 1847, respectively. It further provides a hopeful message for lasting peace and solidarity amongst Liberians, and for the betterment of Liberia. The staff of Africa Teach-In extends sincere thanks and appreciation to the researchers, producers, and actors of this film, and especially to its co-producer Dr. Dawn Cooper Barnes.
