Kentucky In Africa
Kentucky In Africa was a colony settled by freed African-American slaves in present-day Montserrado County, Liberia.
A Kentucky state affiliate of the American Colonization Society was formed in 1828, and members raised money to transport Kentucky blacks — freeborn volunteers as well as slaves set free on the stipulation that they leave the United States — to Africa.〔(KET, Program 1106, "Kentucky And Liberia" )〕 The Kentucky society bought a site along the Saint Paul River and named it Kentucky in Africa.〔 Clay-Ashland was the colony's main town.〔
Notable residents of Kentucky In Africa include William D. Coleman, the 13th President of Liberia, whose family settled in Clay-Ashland after immigrating from Fayette County, Kentucky, United States when he was a boy.〔(Liberia Past And Present, "President William David Coleman 1896 – 1900" )〕 Alfred F. Russell, the 9th President of Liberia, also resided in Clay-Ashland.〔(Bluegrass Community & Technical College, "A Letter from Liberia: Reverend Alfred F. Russell to Robert Wickliffe in Lexington, Kentucky", July 3, 1855 )〕
