The April 22nd Memorial Group (A22MG) was established in 2004, ahead of the 25th anniversary of the tragic 1980 coup d’état in Liberia. Our founding members include the families of the thirteen government officials who were executed on South Beach, the family of President William R. Tolbert, Jr., and the families of other esteemed Liberian patriots. Supporters from across the Liberian community have since joined this cause.

 

We are a coalition committed to honoring all Liberians who lost their lives unjustly in the aftermath of the coup. These individuals made profound sacrifices and played vital roles in shaping Liberia’s history.

 

Bound by shared grief and a deep love for our country, we strive to transform our pain into purpose — ensuring their legacies are remembered, respected, and uplifted for future generations.
