Culture and Heritage


The origins of religious practices, social customs, and cultural norms of American Liberians originate in the pre-war South of the United States. The settlers wore a faded hat. Most of the Liberian American men were members of the Liberian Freemasonry regime, which became increasingly involved in the country's politics.

Liberia has a long history in textile, sewing and, where settlers brought sewing and its skills. Liberia hosted national exhibitions in 1857 and 1858 and awarded prizes for various sewing arts. Edward Wilmot Blaiden, Baye Moore, Roland Dempster, and Wilton Sankawolo are among the most famous writers in Liberia. The story of “A murder in the Kasava pond” written by Mor is the most famous in Liberia.

The Liberian cuisine uses rice as a staple food in the country. Other ingredients include cassava, fish, banana, citrus and coconut.
