| Tubman Center for African Culture, Robertsport, Liberia |
Our truck broke down at the top of an overview of Robertsport.
I’m kind of glad it did because it
allowed us to to slow down on our whirlwind tour of the area and take it all
in for a bit. Robertsport is best seen
on foot. Before we tour this gorgeous town I want to take you inside an amazing building next to where we had broken down.

| Entranceway - Tubman Center for African Culture, Robertsport, Liberia |
My Vai friend Jasper told me that it was called the Tubman Center for African
Culture. At one time it housed rare African
artifacts and records that were sadly lost during the war. Hopefully these items were simply looted and
will one day be rediscovered and returned, but perhaps they are lost
forever. There is a feeling here as if
the building were mourning her ravished treasures. I seriously felt like I feel when I hear
someone sobbing, but there was no sound except the whispering ocean breeze. It was heartbreakingly beautiful. I can
still see her once great glory through the wreckage and perhaps I am not the only one…
Next time we'll explore upstairs...
