Liberia

Liberia’s national day is July 26, Independence Day.

Liberia has a rich and deeply significant cultural presence in Washington, D.C., rooted in its unique history as a nation founded by freed African Americans and as a beacon of African independence. The Embassy of Liberia offers wonderful opportunities to explore West African heritage, from vibrant music and dance traditions to the country's influential literary and artistic contributions to the diaspora experience. If you're curious about Afro-Atlantic history and want to connect with a community that celebrates both African roots and African American heritage, this embassy is a fascinating cultural destination waiting to be discovered.
