Many others circulate divisive myths and derogatory stereotypes. We specialize in recovering the stories about Liberia that have never been told: Liberians were the first in West Africa to end the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Women traditional enjoyed greater rights in Liberia than in the West. Communal lands were more protected under the 1847 Constitution than they are now.
