Liberian Thanksgiving originated from the American Colonization Society’s influence in the 19th century. The Afro-Americans of Liberia adopted this day to thank God for His blessings and mercy. Interestingly, Liberia was the first African republic to gain independence and retained American traditions, including Thanksgiving.
In this kitchen, I am celebrating Liberian cuisine and other international flavors from around the globe. Grab your spoon for a delicious taste!
