This mansion in the jungle would be maintained as a museum honoring a great giver who lifted up Liberia. Instead it beckons those who would seek power in Liberia to come and visit and see. Look around at this transient 'glory' and hear the question, "Who wants to do this next? Who wants to leave a pile of neglected and decaying rubble in the jungle?" This is Tubman's legacy, but I hope there are better legacies yet to be left for the wonderful people of Liberia". This portion of the article should send a warning to those who are in authority today in Liberia.M.

I was in Liberia in 1974 with the Peace Corps and met people who had worked for the Tubman family. It is sad, but totally understandable, that his legacy is crumbling.
