The ICON

Presidential Tubman Villa William Tubman , from the ruling minority party which never represented more than 5% of population, at the time of one party rule. Freemason and autocrat. Still, he was the only president who had ever done something for the country, widely regarded as father of modern Liberia. Born in Harper, his hometown received special attention. The Tubman family is a prominent Americo-Liberian family from Harper, Liberia. The family is descended from African American slaves, the Tubmans who were owned by a prominent Southern family. The Tubman family has produced such notable Liberians such as William Tubman and Winston Tubman. The Tubmans are originally from the United States as is the case with most Americo-Liberian people. Their homestate is Maryland and Atlanta, Georgia.
