James T. BrooksMONROVIA — Liberians from all walks of life gathered on Wednesday, Feb. 11, to pay their final respects to the late Alhaji G. V. Kromah. A towering figure in the nation’s history, Kromah was a man whose multifaceted career left an indelible mark on journalism, academia, diplomacy, and national leadership. During Liberia’s delicate post-conflict recovery, Kromah played a pivotal role in political stabilization while serving as Vice Chairman of the Council of State within the Liberian National Transitional Government. Beyond the halls of government, Kromah was a cornerstone of Liberian intellectual life. The memorial, organized by the Professor Alhaji G. V. Kromah Memorial Service and Legacy Celebration Group, was intentionally designed to transcend political, ethnic, and religious boundaries.
