Although the 177th Independence Day anniversary has come and gone, discussions surrounding what was said by the orator, especially in relation to Liberia-U.S. relations, continues to remain on the lips of Liberians.

During the event last Friday, the Independence Day Orator, Dr. Robtel Neajai Pailey used her oration to publicly criticize the role of the United States in the affairs of Liberia; a country founded by freed slaves from the United States in the 1800s.

WADR’s Darlington Porkpa has been following the development and now reports.
