Discover the untold story of how freed African American slaves and Black pioneers helped establish Liberia-the first independent Black republic in West Africa. Coming to Africa explores the Back-to-Africa movement and the role of the American Colonization Society in resettling freed slaves on African soil. Through vivid accounts of leaders like Paul Cuffe, Robert Finley, Bushrod Washington, James Monroe, John Kizell, and Zolu Duma (""King Peter""), this book reveals the struggles, resilience, and vision that shaped the birth of a nation. Perfect for readers of African American history, Black studies, African diaspora, and Pan Africanism, this powerful history uncovers how the fight for freedom crossed oceans and inspired generations. Step into the legacy of those who turned oppression into nationhood-the story of Liberia's founding begins here.
