I was disappointed that the series only discussed the founding of the town and then skipped to Charles Taylor’s NPFL Civil War era. But there was so much more history involving this town. Tubman allowed Ben-Amii’s Black American Jewish Cult to settle there in 1968-69, before they emigrated to Israel. There was even a Military Camp and Prison there before the arrival of Taylor. Hopefully the host will return for a part2. Inquisitive minds want to know more about this interesting town.

Mr. Kolo contradicted himself. Initially, he said he was born and raised there. Later, he said he went there at 17 years from Bomi.

The town is just like a maze. It is like people are living on top of each other with no elbow room. How from the people who Owen cars get to their homes?

How do the people who own cars get yo their respective homes?
