― Henry Johnson Jr, Liberian Son

― Henry Johnson Jr, Liberian Son

“Where there is oppression, there would be oppositions. Where there is "Knowledge" there would be progression. Where there is "HATE" evil will always prevail. Where there is forgiveness, there's a better Future. Where there is ignorance, there's a lack of Wisdom. Change is an ongoing process.”

“The future of Liberia belongs to citizens, who see wrong and speak against it because what does not affect you, affect others. The future of Liberia belongs to "patriots" who preach "CHANGE" and are not merely moved by money or in the closet deals to surround themselves with the same people who are part of the system.

The future of Liberia belongs to the market, who don't anything but have managed to cope with the hard times. The future of Liberia belongs to Liberians, who had been fed "DEMOCRACY" and have come to accept it, even when what is written in the book doesn't work for "all" voices but individual voices who are well connected and protected to speak. The future of Liberia is at a crossroad.”
