Harper
|
Harper, also known as Cape Palmas, is the capital of Maryland County in Liberia. It was an important administrative
centre and home to Cuttington College, the oldest university in the nation, but it was largely destroyed in the
Liberian Civil War. Boats sail from Harper to Monrovia via Greenville. One of the city's most famous sons is
George Henry Andrews (1926-1997) Minister of Information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism under president William R. Tolbert,
and Chairman of the Election Commission of 1997 that brought former warlord Charles Taylor to power. Harper is also
the place of birth of William Tubman, president of Liberia between 1944 and 1971. Cape Palmas is considered to be the
traditional hometown of the "Americo-Liberians", descendants of freed slaves from the United States who settled in
Liberia and declared it an independent country in 1847.

Harry E
|
Harry's very first recording "Sweet Red Rose" became a smash hit, making him front page, TV and Radio news for the next 6 months.... then, before he could reap any financial rewards or plan any development from this success, Civil War tore his country apart and left his world in ruins. Since then Harry has known only life as a UN refugee, displacement from home, family, friends & heartbreak. He hasn't been able to see his mother for 14 years (his Swedish father had already died when Harry was 9). Harry guesses that he may have cousins in Sweden, that he doesn't know and he wonders if they even know of him. Then in October 2002, Harry was told that his own son had died (the news came 3 weeks after the funeral) just as he was completing the "Hold On Tight!" CD album.

Daniel Edward Howard
PRESIDENT
(August 4, 1861-July 9, 1935)
|
Daniel Edward Howard was president of Liberia from 1912 to 1920. Born in the town of Buchanan, Grand Bassa County,
he worked his way up through the civil service to become secretary of the True Whig Party, the country's only
political party at the time.Howard was elected president in 1911 and assumed office on January 1, 1912.
With the outbreak of World War I, he attempted to maintain the country's neutrality, though he tended to
support the Allies, who colonial territories in Africa surrounded Liberia. Despite German protests, he
allowed the French to operate a wireless station in the capital, Monrovia. Realizing that their
complaints were in vain, the Germans sent a submarine to attack the city in 1917, forcing the
reluctant Howard to side with the Allies and declare war on Germany.
Howard remained in office for two years after the war's end. He died in Monrovia in 1935.
