Liberia College at Monrovia, 1863: A Beacon of Education in the Heart of West Africa This evocative engraving by Richer Russell captures the Liberia College at Monrovia in 1863, a pivotal moment in the history of education for African Americans in the 19th century. Established in 1826 by the American Colonization Society, the college was a vital component of the American colonization movement that sought to resettle free African Americans in Liberia, West Africa. The college's impressive facade, with its grand columns and imposing entrance, stands as a testament to the commitment of its founders to provide a high-quality education to their students. The building, which served as both a college and a library, was a symbol of the aspirations of the African American community in the United States and beyond. The image, held at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the pursuit of knowledge transcended borders and racial divides. The photograph, reminiscent of an illustration, also speaks to the rich heritage of African Americans and their contributions to the global community. The Liberia College at Monrovia was a significant milestone in the history of education for African Americans, and this engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of this institution and the dreams of a better future that it represented for generations to come.
