Geography Now! Liberia

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Liberia could be considered a relative of the United States, as it was part of an idea to resettle newly freed African Americans. Now, it's home to gorgeous beaches and few tourists, making it a great place to visit. An interesting video resource showcases the African nation and its history.
