Nurturing that relationship was Greenville Development Association, in collaboration with Robert Nash, a native of Greenville, MS. and Hon. Cynthia Blandford-Nash, Liberia’s Consul-General accredited to Atlanta. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the two cities will further friendly diplomatic relations, enhance cultural and historic understanding and cooperation, and promote international trade.

These resettled men and women, together with the indigenous inhabitants, built the City of Greenville, Liberia.
