Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The research will focus on the experiences of Liberian Americans while fleeing the civil war. This displacement is shaped by the policies made by the Liberian Government and the United States government. The relevance of this study is the placement of value on the experiences of those who experienced displacement. More often than not, the focus of migration in the global south is the economic factors and how those factors affect the Western world. This research is a way to project the stories of those who are often not heard, the Liberian people.
