Audacity Of Freedom

Harriet Tubman, Underground Railroad conductor, led one of the most audacious lives in the fight for freedom. William V. S. Tubman, President of Liberia from 1944 to 1971, did much to promote foreign investment and to bridge the economic, social, and political gaps between Americo-Liberians and Indigenous Liberians. He was one of the most courageous and charismatic leaders of Africa in the twentieth century. As champions of freedom and human rights, the Tubmans of Liberia and the United States were two of the world’s greatest political and moral leaders. In Audacity of Freedom, Dr. Ewa Unoke compiles memorable narratives on two of the most remarkable lives in the fight for freedom. What post-conflict nations need most in the 21st century are wise and charismatic leaders like Harriet Tubman and William Tubman.
