Former Diompillor President launches new book
Providence, May 23, 2005 - Former Diompillor President, John F. Josiah recently published a book entitled Presidential Trivia, Republic of Liberia 1847-2004.
The book contains over two hundred and fifty questions and answers that reflect the political, social, and economic profile of Liberia's Presidents from 1847 to 2004. According to President Josiah, “the questions are framed in a manner to depict the presidential Politics of Liberia since its independence in 1847 to the present.”
Commenting on his motivation for writing the book, Hon. Josiah said “it is important for Liberians to know little details about our history and especially about those who led us in the past.” He continued “many people will be surprised by what they will discover in the book.” The book is very informative and equally amusing with facts about Liberia’s past colonial agents, the governors, Vice presidents, and Presidents of Liberia. Few of the questions in the book are: Which President of Liberia granted the Natives of Liberia Citizenship to Liberia? Name the President who the League of Nations helped to remove from power due to his involvement in the Fernando Po slaves trade.
President John Josiah is the immediate past president of Diompillor America. He is also currently serving as a member of the National Board of Directors. Mr. Josiah led the organization through a very challenging transitional period, which saw at its conclusion, a smooth transition to the new leadership of current President H. Kendima Charyoe.
Hon. John Josiah’s book brings to 2: books recently authored by Kissi authors – the other is, Dirges for my homeland, authored by Saah Charles N'Tow the current national secretary.
The cost of Hon. John Josiah’s book is $15.00. It can be purchased directly from John Josiah, 14403 Banquo Terrace, Silver Spring, MD. 20906. Telephone Number is 301-603-1977
