🧠 Thanksgiving ... Did you know ?💡 The West African nation of Liberia founded 200 years ago in the 19th century, by people of colour from the United States. 🇱🇷 These 'Americo-Liberian' settlers brought cultural traditions across the Atlantic Ocean with them, including the celebration of Thanksgiving. 🎉 After Liberia formally declared independence in 1847 - becoming one of the first democratic republics on the African continent, various influences between the two countries prevailed. Liberia became the only African country to officially celebrate Thanksgiving, to mark when freed American slaves founded the country in 1822. 🌍 Thanksgiving in Liberia is celebrated on the first Thursday of November. Festivities and celebrations include attending Baptist churches and other places of worship, where fresh fruits of the harvest area auctioned following the service. After church gatherings Liberians commemorating Thanksgiving, go home to feast, gather for special concerts and dancing. 🗓 Instead of turkey and mashed potatoes, Liberians celebratory Thanksgiving dishes including mashed cassava, chicken, jollof rice and other typical food from West Africa. 🍽 #Liberia #thanksgiving #Africa
