@ ethan, Liberia was a country designed for black people to go to, to be free from racial injustices, though they faced hard tiems there as well, and it was more like a get balck people out of the u.s program. Monrovia was its capitol, named after The president Monroe.

We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
