As the U.S. ambassador to Liberia, Edward R. Dudley addressed discrimination in the State Department, secured training for the Liberian army, and spearheaded programs for sanitation, rice propagation, and infrastructure. Of his time in Liberia, he said later, “In my judgment this was probably one of the more important things that I did the whole time I was there, not so much between the relations of Liberia and the United States, but for Black Americans. We think we opened the door and stopped this kind of discrimination.”
