Why Liberia?

This week, WABE News presents the series we’re calling, “Why Liberia?” 

As part of a reporting trip paid for through a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, WABE’s Jim Burress spent twelve days in the West African country looking at how it’s rebuilding nearly a decade after its civil war ended, as well as how Atlanta is connected to those efforts. 

Monday:  For the first part of this series, Jim sat in-studio with Morning Edition host Steve Goss to talk about the project.
