In Search of a Lost Africa - Helene Cooper - Africa - Liberia - New York Times

drew_s — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 13:54:13 GMT

I haven't made it all the way through this yet. What I've read so far is great. Dad, you might want to pass it along to Mom (and Leah, since she doesn't appear to spend much time here anymore) (both of whom are also returning to Liberia after a long time away).

Quoted: I was going back, finally doing something I should have done a thousand different times since that night, May 16, 1980, when my mother, my younger sister, Marlene, and I got on a Pan Am flight at Robertsfield and fled the place that my great-great-great-great-grandfather helped found.

Quoted: Because of him, I would not grow up, 150 years later, as an American black girl, burdened by racial stereotypes about welfare queens. Nor would I have to deal with the weights of a sub-Saharan African girl, with a life expectancy of about 40 years, yanked out of school at 11 to fetch water and cook over a coal pot and rear children barely younger than herself.
