ORIGINAL
ARTS FROM LIBERIA
The Republic of Liberia was originally called
Monrovia. Liberia comes from the Latin “liber” word meaning "Free." The name was
founded by freed slaves in the early nineteenth century. There are 16 major
ethnic groups in Liberia.
Liberia has Africa’s biggest runway and the biggest deep-sea port of West
Africa. Monrovia is the only free port in West Africa. Before the war, Liberia
was West Africa's center of commerce and transportation, and attracted
industries like petroleum, paint, pharmaceuticals and cement. Many impressive
buildings were built, along with the old University of Liberia (opened in 1862,
university status in 1951), and a secondary school system, hospitals etc.
However, the infrastructure has been largely destroyed by the fighting in recent
years. The Snap shake is a typical Liberian handshake. The Firestone Plantation
is the world’s largest one. Liberia is the first ever republic of Africa and has
never been colonized. When peace has been returned, Liberia has much to offer,
including friendly people, lush landscapes and some of the last remaining virgin
rainforest in West Africa.
