[00:00:00]
>> I'm going to the church what will happen but we have medical doctors I mean so many names yet medical doctors. And then a granny from Medical College. And a Tony and soon to be you become the face of American or black George in some part of the land you know he grew or met in a church so you have seen some of these funny people who are who are growing up.

[00:00:25]
To grow up in a church and not in a church on the other hand I met of the people that also came and there are many hospital knees that went through the wall one of them in particular going to you brainy going to your brain it is an elder statesman he was if you can he grew up in the army in a regular he N.O.O.B. if you can to President talk about he was very close to him a little known he became minister of acting of course but when I did he want to do it I suffer immensely he told me back so many times in fact he read ninety five years old and he's going to go back home to visit but he told what he peen the software that he got he said he will whip every day.

[00:01:09]
Package he will whip would it cut some other stuff to put sand on it sometimes you went to him and he would pass out something to be in that in a pack and. On conditions but still he survived he being very courageous. Almost eighty years or so. To bed in projects we have built to believe projects and he had been shepherds of up over there and to show you his car his strength.

[00:01:37]
Also you saw the George was going to change your. Son was killed in a present from what I want to understand and he went through in a well she had a. Was killed yesterday but were killed I had a big impact she had a run for her life she wore from all the way to.

[00:01:59]
What I want to count. Many saw a lot in the bushes and at times you are but it is something if you take the story of how she who eat all of that but she lived to be almost hundred years old she died in February with only you have at home but she would tell you her stories and what they wore men and she could understand people who.

[00:02:22]
You know she said she had a father some of the soils and had a look underground you know. On a routine copying with him. What church acquired Michelle in. That era either because you've Misha that Michele what if Let me stop when our minister was in charge of that mission and about five saying you have to go he told us that your lot led him to lead a mission to a house in Bangla or you've Misha one and I hope.

[00:02:55]
Going toward the Pope is what a straw and says the last few years we have been sending money to what we have we constructed a school be open for twenty five thirty years is going to be open. To the podium we send containers and hopefully we try to have a new plan to build some new used truck of the damaged areas on the campus.

[00:03:16]
And we have proved what I can but a wall will forever devastating have a church on a mission on Tuesday would destroy the benches he told them and if I would. So somebody's child at war. Yes Now as I mentioned to you that they haven't challenges Liberia as India I have a particular session here that deals with that I would not go into detail you can read a little more some of the challenges including I didn't of.

[00:03:46]
You know used to what sort of food you come here and then you can see the American food and is there especially so does some of the challenges of bringing arbitrarily deter Iran I react differently in a country where you had to submit. Laws and prevented a parent I call the police on you also a parent trying to spank their kids I DARE YOU SPENDING I'll call the police and so it's a very difficult issue how to ingest even how you spend your Adelaide you know how you how you how you talk to them news and some promise that you have B L E Even a stand alone immigration employment the not a problem and many times which I have to write references for individuals to get a job maybe have to talk to people to find jobs for them so those are the audit things that all immigrants face the challenges in the U.S. and that's the other set to be immigrants who support and for families and also relatives relationships at the past so many many times the conflict if you have no wife have to deal with the issues because there are different roles that were played in Liberia that are why I want to play the zero zero even five I saw the new wife was where you would have met you got a lot of bills and in the meantime you both widely and don't have the kind of income where imitate two income told me to find a walk on the other hand you find a man no more working for Time Yup and he won't have to make everybody would have got a lot.

[00:05:18]
Sometimes And let me remarry store in America and then a lot of cultural differences and even to have my bit of convolving of all the problems that people face the other to Providence I would fish and Despero if like ready to come for whom. The party be in Liberia the crowd I want to come please turn for me you prefer for me and you know come on down know sometimes I would tell you if you are comfortable get a job I will pay you back and sometimes you know we'll get back now to dad to come in the house because everybody's up all the way to work in the house and you don't want to contribute towards the webby of the house where you know you might.

[00:06:00]
You my sister and also have you would have built as a result men a family conflicts you had to bring them together try to understand the whole system you know as to what it should be a typical problem was to have the phone bill you know you know that I said in time you called on the Fool the big guy and normally you call I said in time and then you put the come home you get on the phone with a high in the mic cause when the bill come is about two thousand dollars when I went to confront them to get angry this is where you my brother you my sister what you're paying what if but that's not a bill that you can get people you got rent to buy out of that so sometimes no tension will come to play you have to be resolved and have found it to move on sometimes families come to have the idea man and they can stay together sometimes they had to go to separate ways even read not their families who would have to speaking to each other because of the kind of conflict how good intentions and before you look financial difficulties kind of creepy.

[00:07:03]
So. Now the next issue that I want to talk about in the diaspora how the duality I see it as a process I share with you I have been working very hard to try to get people to understand but I guess to share what you did is that they lack problem understanding of why did he ever see you thought about five you have never read or demanded and you're going to tell them and so you have a different concept after what they meant is.

[00:07:33]
Either because of their own present value of the desires they want to see you have been any law in force or. A way asked the mediator in trying to get facts to set in things so I have been making the cry that. We need to find a way even though you're almost at the end of your Wark we made a final witness to do a lot of education even starting with the ministers the minister would you understand more you understand some of the comments the.

[00:08:00]
Make it but if you ever see that is the Wiz of time that it would take a NO WAY And so I have to spend and I was trying to tell them I have to be. Eleven minutes in Atlanta and so we've been trying to educate them to get people to give statement we made it a program the area but acting funny we got continue to find a way to educate the Liberians but to get in a death row absolutely importance and what does one surprise will all the number of the people here I know they are going to work but some time in the make some sacrifice even a drop in for half a day between a well advertised so we rented need to get it on a stand and how does is going to help them on a promise here is quarter of appreciation for the people understand they want to be Western but as always say I don't care how long and sticks he is in a what are you going to become how together and African is an African or don't be ashamed of your culture a time don't be ashamed of your language and so those are two going to educating them to appreciate.

[00:09:04]
Another job or not being up to criticism we read it like that we are not we talk about Iberia who would have already had the passion that we should for example I told somebody I did that woman to find a way to have intention of dialogues above that period so that we can document somebody's issues because when you go to pot is a social event people talk they do talk but to talk on a setting on the shelf when they are not in a reference of mind because of maybe what they have but taken so the top end up the problem is that if you don't talk about it so it will get I mean like that nobody takes knows nobody documents what the end results are so we got a stuff on the opportunities for us to say die and lead to dialogue and discuss come up with suggestions and move on with the suggestions and that's what we needed asteroid most it was time to do someone who's so that we can build our nationalism.

[00:10:00]
Now I would not spend too much time on this aspect I would get a few things called the myths and these are typical Some people may agree and that agree with me I'm not I'm not suggesting that what I'm seeing is the law and gospel but I have some things that I see I want to call miss and be a miss then we need to find some ways to deal with them I highlighted them and tried to explain some of them the act in the first one is that not beer US history started in twenty two that the wrong me it in that my contention is that we go way back even to be true we need to start off from Wicked and not who my way that I was you know how that are what you are so history have the tendency to start with history and if you try to do what even in forty seven we do go back to that.

[00:10:54]
Now you know why is that a war coming up and I put that in. Quotations the work cannot be for the people who came for a nice days that's a myth and I was very glad yesterday that. Par. Who were able to shed some light in that one understand we have got it confused and they must have the mission the word combo is in another most economic empowerment those that were economic high in status because you have people who are indeed not I would also.

[00:11:28]
Like a number of the strong but somehow we missed the ward where people that came from here in that sought to walk on by actually said yes to what door when it was abandoned that my grandfather do a route to and that is this anyway with abolish the whole ship to come to Liberia so that he got come Tom But the wolf for is of Congo having a group with so many people and I think that the other thing we need to weigh on and how we define who work on the poison is and.

[00:12:00]
Even if you start to look at that used to I think people who have intermarried you'd be very hard to find anybody who is a real person I came from United States we have. So nothing not one thing that I didn't know how and I find them if.

[00:12:15]
One of the myth that we. Have the people that live here are probably a is a country of us of was a Congo issue. And in my estimation it is more than that you showed that even those who are from an indigenous even people from the other side of the call come a quarter on quarter everybody to mess up so it had nothing to do with people you have been calling recover we have from probably from the past that's correct because of the problem we had but I think the issue well more than that he right now issue and I want to political I want to stand and I make is that we've got a more issues that are of social issues and minimal issues religious issues you know and we have folks who are all wanting and used that I think we read a missed lot of things that you can do one of the autumn is that concerns me and i even more so when I found out that I'm a part of my demo group people are saying that my Denver the citizen of the earth that's a myth.

[00:13:16]
I'm from bang in a row you've got a whole people that have been blown day you go to Sunday Well you go to almost every part so we will begin to stop those things that bring about division because I think group that he and that is you know.

[00:13:31]
Have rights to not be what they are but as a bonus. Would not be in a Coupe De Mint is that whether allusion and I disagree with that because again I don't think it was properly planned out that should be dedicated noting that were done by some of the people that he did not teach the people well did not get it already has a right to to understand put duties into place a religion don't just happen like that you've got to explain to make sure that that M..

[00:14:00]
Zuck So you say you have an illusion in the name of getting rid of corruption in order that the end is more day to day while you start away so. Of course the issue of my view of America step China we can all see clearly now that even though we have some relationship but.

[00:14:21]
Many people feel that the US fear Liberia particularly if I stop the carnage and the war on a secular state. Before my second Steve who came to testify when I think we all need to rethink our relationships not only Jess Liberia us Americans as well we need to sit down come to a common table and reassess relationships.

[00:14:48]
One of the issues too that I think is the myth that tot mom was the best president ever I had I don't want to think so he was a good president he did Webb but in my opinion he was not empowering in the says is that more people would yet relax and it was not too good for us he was a good man but I don't think he even powered.

[00:15:12]
The nation to move follow. The NEC talk about talk about HAD MORE plan and more things to try to pound the country far. On one of them if that war and fighting if allusion to our province now we have found out that is not a solution if anything it gets up into deeper trouble so we got to start to see and a new generation that wall is fighting it does not solve problems in create more problems right now we have we have five Back to have all about thinking our relationships are.

[00:15:51]
We behind the cut and so we'll be very careful now what happened to us never happen again to put system into place that we can. Disagree to agree and if you kiss you do not want individual in office we have a way we get out in a way that would not cause the kind of Devon destruction as with spirits.

[00:16:13]
I don't want to use that and yes yes I may get into trouble for this but I'm going to see in a way we have a mix and I missing is that people will say all. They did to it are people who in their of awful talk they commissioned or didn't call me citizens in Hama now the typical scene of some of us will spot with a very divisive but my concern is that after the who lives in Chicago and in the bunker Europe I saw many chiefs that were also carry in Hama why not because of that of the traditional way or transfer to show or not to leave them now when the government sent an official or whatever to conduct business so they give him this in Qana see so for people to come back and see where whether to order people how much it was good for the chief to be told then if you have good enough why I go and I was of the character so if you should not be all you to immediate none of that then what she's who left a lot of people have been going to work on the farm for free.

[00:17:22]
And who I figured into brings that in things or them for free to me that's also effort to show him where it was left floating for the government of Egypt to rob did not the Treasury or a debt so I say that this is a Miss that we need to come to grips with.

[00:17:39]
Of the people. And of a comedy underclass one about to war is not the ends of just a year or two that peace and reconciliation talking should be so new shown to our problems on the last one is about to not be a problem the political. Have to say and I don't think so we have Morning different.

[00:18:01]
We have religious issues and this I'm very much impressed when I as the fellow that I was sure you were in before you do I say about how you marry when somebody is a traditionalist maybe from the Islamic faith if you so all we have a career out of that scene but in the past the part there was a was a movement would be so I want to Bible you know so we need this time to respect out of people to come to you know guarantees everybody their right to every religion and religion should have before the point people who don't want to so in public erat we've got to stop having if you have and so in so many ads in video what the fish Well ads and what they want to use to decide about the fun but don't force it on them religious tolerance we've got to try to reach out of that's the competition so they have big issues in my view of the the holidays as a model stuff yet they do be revisited at.

[00:18:57]
The respective did you know a lot of people do what ethics got a grip problem with what it is even a war not even watched So we've got a major problem we've got to be doing with. Your social issues how young lit is and use and abuse even having a child out of wedlock those are things that the side to side will bring down we've got to start talk about them that is not right you know we don't want to talk about them those are probably the talking about and let people know that you want to do it right away you know we have to do it she so I think our progress beyond political issue we've got many of us which are issues that we need to look at.

[00:19:42]
With that now I want to begin to end wind down and there's a way I want to do some reflections I want to give you an opportunity but unity where we can press pharma press far from beyond a wall I believe in twenty and you leave looking at new possibilities and I like to focus on the.

[00:20:00]
One very closely in fact to make sure I want to read a wife a war on our history and I mean that I've read history needs to be riveting and taught. It has moved to be redeemed by a side of us by foreigners nor is banks all of people.

[00:20:21]
You are from their perspective even during the Civil War Your whole gamut people have been reading books none of them have been historic whereby it's help us to document what history it is to be redeemed by Liberians and I know we've got enough people are qualified to do that now what I want is the just is that it did that that you collect your process of beauty honesty and I know to be used as a visit for someone to do scholarly work but I'm suggesting that you didn't that you cannot be used by an appointed team of scholars and only from each country of Liberia to write the history of Liberia beginning before if you're twenty two.

[00:21:08]
And end up a half with your final report as a as a cut off point but i GEM of a judge and it is a political scientists can get on that as far as what it and to begin to ascertain but I think what your report what we finally put would be that would be a good cut off to start on but again what I'm talking about now what I'm taking the history to be reading a different I was primarily I want something every level of high school and college levels and then on a general level in a big volume that people can have why I say that because right now for that other African countries who do not write and plan for our elementary level of US We are still importing both from four United States and Europe you know so we get a cycle of really don't think that I'm suggesting that we do that.

[00:21:55]
And. What I'm doing you know and I suggesting that. Special. War Tom lexicon. Be a study because whichever chunk comes late on is not really about to be a any other thing they want to one of us so we did a find a way to document some of these less accom that are unique to the wall so that when people begin to read in the future we've gone we're going to stand where we're talking about.

[00:22:24]
Lively to. It of deference I just need to have the process include become asking where this is for any document and you're going to great job but today I was very much impressed a little bit what you came to give a book yeah so even a book I've been reading says the war and what a war that you have means Hypatia's all of that videotape all of it about so what are the five tough on here a resource a way that we can get out and put them together now if you ask any Because if you come to give a statement do you have in a document to some it did me I may not but if they do they can give that for the national interest and which would be a good thing to help us for the future now how you would have to do a collection on a documentary or without a problem I don't know but I'm just saying it will be a good thing to add for all the books I have in radio and I make an appeal to them bring them up before videos and they may have people who have some.

[00:23:26]
Tips always presented to you that can be helpful in the process of collecting document. I don't want to have I would like to suggest is that they have to be aware for us to develop a picture to see I mean rare partizan I'm not Beera So I'm suggesting that we embark upon some sort of campaign picture dissing Camping of some sort of smoke on and set up a committee or a group to help us go to a process so hard to read to be a force instead of over at the.

[00:24:00]
Good choice so we need to find a way or hospital who can begin to develop something with a new media with the linking and I'll be a national company and go on for proof of time and I just want to hear I mean time and globally and I'm going to school to him to bring about.

[00:24:18]
For the long run I think that would happen in the long way tally not be one needs to appreciate a caution if you're going to the pigeon a question or. Did you to have something of value and then to copy us because somebody's doing it because I want to read what a way and what to do and example when I want you know not just cool it was it was so terrible that the piece goes well one day they will last niggas and because of they were so lazy to watch this league us their way dead this new Gus We have young people stop bus to go and you buy a newspaper you say wimpy school.

[00:24:53]
My goodness I look back down today yes as if well you know. Because a young man from college level may have gotten that through Liberia to work and he does not have house kids and he where the dentist to Gus we patronize that we buy and you sneak up put in the muck as a went to school.

[00:25:15]
We got to find a way to tell people that the right I mean is a fashion but a right to one hundred. And one history it just handful of books I read into was educational all of those I just kind of to different and so when you try to encourage that what I want to suggest to you in the area of documenting a culture to for one of them is not in there because I feel that I read in.

[00:25:40]
The five ways that I want a library of Congress last week and I was impressed I was impressed the amount of history they got on the beer alone I mean I saw a book in the Library of Congress that while back to IF YOU hundred years that list every trop in Libya and it was different.

[00:26:00]
Ik and he has the listing of the common name of every truck and why the ME. And I Ben would have such a book you mean Liberia so I'm saying don't want to think perhaps all of the people we need to have a kind of Library of Congress for that period some of that cultural center and what I want to come from we have and I'll go far as to a lot of people some of the payment to the government that's out of his city I'm honored to have thought it out a billion of the kind of the battery and library for it Conti way the elders and people can bring thing and deposit it for generations yet to come we kind of culture and heritage and we're going to start now now just go for a push yet I know when you do your work in your report and other that you have a lot of material I want to suggest that if you are possible you find it to to show you are in the US that to make copies of those things as a document to some of the things that we've got to preserve them I live you have them in two places so having kids is that the problem again or the FI or anything but I just get all document going to the breeze we get to know more so I love to be fighting in Iraq that may be under the juicy going to cost but you know fire is a teacher maybe like this it got a big state school now like to keep the documents yet I read the Morehouse College causes the king's people and so anybody have access to that but no one our people back home it would take a long time before they build this kind of.

[00:27:25]
Congress library system quarter a resume to keep our documents we want to find a way all the things that you've been collecting our history to get the answer either to show yet I've called Partners where you can I don't copy from way in the area I do be good and example you form in a student here shoot a whole process here this week I saw him take you knows you'll be a good thing we establish with that university degree and father knows I'm done my research and because of what you're going to fusion we want to research some of the things and it'll be a good thing if they have access to the papers.

[00:28:00]
In a format they can't begin to do that and so does one of you close to my heart. Let me show our religious freedom in a beer and is still more of values and characters. This is a pet peeve of mine. Again at the same becomes John Guy about it in Revelation so we must let him to to to respect our religion of this set to go for who they are and don't downplay other people religion our schools religion is a to show us the churches the mosque in.

[00:28:37]
Those other prisons for religious instruction and home not in the public government funded school because if you start teaching one religion in a school then you that gala other religion come as well so I'm suggesting that look at that pretty late that the mosque they charge is their homes and a religious institution would be the wanted to buy a school in the past and now we have a very religious order that you have one set of religion being taught in public schools which is the government funding by every taxpayer from different religious persuasions so is my.

[00:29:15]
Desire to see us be more practical let's keep their religious instruction where they belong and left for gov on both things that we need to teach in the public arena when the phone there by public dollars and many people may disagree with me but see to bring about some of the discontent in the future.

[00:29:38]
You know we need to unite and what you're gonna. Number five is we need to ensure the freedom of the press. Never power to any society so we need to continue to cry that often and because your media we need to be very sure that while both on the air is adequate.

[00:30:00]
Now anything can go on a are going to need to have some way that we can we can look at that. And as a gesture will be for future plan us. To design and construct a new capital. With into.
