Firestone’s profits after taxes amounted to three times the government’s total revenue for 1951, according to one study. [...] [A]fter the colony declared itself independent in 1847 [...], some of the settlers built Southern-style mansions [...]. Firestone arrived in Liberia in the 1920s. By that time, Harvey S. Firestone Sr., the farm boy from Ohio who founded the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., had become one of the top industrialists of the gilded age. He dreamed of finding a rubber source beyond the grasp of the British Empire, which controlled much of the world market. In Liberia, he found a spot in the narrow band around the equator where rubber trees thrived – and a nation that was in debt and desperate for business. After two years of negotiations, Firestone and Liberia announced one of history’s great sweetheart deals. Liberia gave Firestone the right to lease up to 1 million acres — roughly 10 percent of the country’s arable land. The cost? Six cents an acre. The term? Ninety-nine years.

Firestone Liberia, the world’s largest rubber plantation owned by global giant Bridgestone, is alleged to have allowed the continuing release of waste into a river in Liberia, 15 years after it was first alleged of the same pollution problem. [...] Though the initial allegations [were made] in 2005 [...], a report released this month [February 2020] by [...] an environmental campaign group claims very little has changed and accuses Firestone Liberia of corporate negligence. In the report, which follows a March 2019 investigation, communities along Farmington River and close to the Firestone rubber plantation have continued to complain and report contamination of their rivers and wells due to effluent discharged [...].

[In 1926] an eight-member scientific team from Harvard University [moved] through the interior regions of Liberia and the Belgian Congo. [...] Over time, the paths of empire, aided by science and medicine, would become well worn, solidifying Firestone’s presence and reach in the Liberian landscape. [...] Disease and rubber had brought the Harvard African expedition to Liberia. In 1926 Firestone Tire and Rubber Company had secured a ninety-nine-year lease for up to a million acres of land from the Liberian government to establish one of the world’s largest rubber plantations. But Firestone faced significant challenges in transforming the tropical rain forest into an industrial plantation. [...] In 1914 Richard P. Strong [had been] recently appointed director of Harvard’s new Department of Tropical Medicine [...]. [I]t was precisely the infrastructures of multinational firms like United Fruit Company, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, and American petroleum companies overseas that Strong regarded as ideal assets in pursuing the kind of [...] research he envisioned. In 1914, just one year after the creation of Harvard’s Department of Tropical Medicine, Strong took on an additional assignment that cemented the ties between his department and American business interests abroad. As newly appointed director of the Laboratories of the Hospitals and of Research Work of United Fruit Company, he set sail in July 1914 to United Fruit plantations in Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama. [...]

As a shareholder in two British rubber plantations, Strong was acutely aware of the threat that Britain’s rubber monopoly posed to America’s economic interests. Strong approached Harvey Firestone, chief executive of the tire and rubber-processing conglomerate that bore his name, in December 1925 with a proposal to conduct an extensive biological and medical survey of the interior region of Liberia. Strong found a receptive ear. Firestone had negotiated tentative agreements in 1925 with the Liberian government for rights to a 2,000-acre plantation for experiments in rubber production, as well as a 99-year concession to optionally lease up to a million acres of Liberian land for rubber plantations. [...]

The Firestone plantations became an important node in a network of industrial plantations [...]. The paths of empire that sustained the transoceanic exchange of biological specimens, commodities, and knowledge in the growth of industrial plantation economies reached across the Atlantic and extended deep into Liberia’s hinterland. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the expedition footage. Traveling by motorboat up the Du River to the site of the Firestone plantations, traversing the interior by foot with the aid of hundreds of porters, and journeying on roads in the making, all project the reach and anticipatory future of Firestone’s operations in Liberia. [...] Within two decades, the expedition path would become the rubber corridor of Liberia: a 100-mile stretch of road, initially built with corvee labor, that reaches from Harbel, the center of the Firestone plantations, to Gbarnga, the hub of Bong County and the Kpelle people. [...] Roads built to foster Firestone’s connectivity to Indigenous labor served to heighten land alienation. [...] Roads also became the corridors through which profits flowed. In 1951 more than 79 million pounds of raw latex, valued at more than $48 million, moved along the former expedition path. Firestone owned 94 percent of that latex [...].

[BJ] runs a tire repair shop in central Liberia that is only 500 meters from a rubber farm, but the tires he fixes were made a continent away. “It hurts me especially when I see tires marked Firestone,” the 30-year-old said. “I look at them and say ‘My God, this rubber comes from right here, and returns to us in finished products.”
