John Hanson (died c. 1860) was an African American politician in Liberia. He served in Colonial Council and as a senator from Grand Bassa County following Liberia's independence in 1847. He was born into slavery, but he purchased his freedom and emigrated from Baltimore to Liberia at age thirty-six.

 In Liberia, he joined the growing mercantile class. He also served as Commissary in the same county for several years, furnishing a house for the storage of arms and ammunition. Hanson died in 1860, and was mourned as a "faithful and patriotic servant" by Liberian president Stephen Allen Benson.

Senator Hanson has sometimes been misidentified as being John Hanson of Maryland, a European politician who served as a President of the Continental Congress during the American Revolution.

Ricks was born into slavery in Tennessee. Along with the rest of her family, she was purchased by her father George Erskine and became free. She and her family moved to Clay-Ashland, Liberia, as part of the American Colonization Society in 1830. While she was living in Liberia, she married Zion Harris who she had met along her travels while in Tennessee. She had begun traveling with Liberia’s first president Joseph Jenkins Roberts in 1848 and visited both the United States and the United Kingdom. Martha earned her living raising turkeys, ducks, and sheep as well as growing crops. She was also known for being well versed in field of needlework. Martha was very good at her needlework and won several contests for the silk stocking that she made.

Over the years, Martha developed an interest in Queen Victoria. She was determined that one day she would meet the queen. Over the course of 25 years, Martha worked on a quilt that she wanted to give to the queen when she met her. The quilt that she made depicted the Liberian Coffee Tree and was made of silk cotton. Its pattern included over 300 green leaves, as well as coffee berries in red. There was also a trunk in the center of the quilt and the background was white. Finally, when she turned 76, Martha was able to travel to England and was given audience with the queen through the help of Liberian Ambassador Edward Blyden. She met the queen at Windsor Castle on July 16, 1892, accompanied by First Lady Jane Roberts where she gave her the quilt. Martha died in 1901.

Will Liberia's Weah Survive The Next Election?

On Friday, April 28, 2023, former Vice President Joseph Nyumah Boakai, affectionately known as JNB by his supporters, announced Senator Jeremiah Kpah Koung as his running mate for the upcoming presidential election in Liberia, expected to take place in October 2023. Boakai, who is the standard bearer of the largest opposition political party, the Unity Party, faced a difficult decision in selecting his vice standard bearer from a list of three influential political figures, including Senator Youngblee Karnga Lawrence, political commentator Henry Costa, and Jeremiah Kpah Koung.

In his address to the nation, Boakai expressed his unwavering confidence in Senator Koung, citing his values of integrity, honesty, gratitude, and humanity as essential qualities needed to lead the country. Boakai also praised Koung's record of diligent service to not only his county but Liberia as a whole, which led to his successful two terms as a legislator and subsequently a Senator.

Senator Koung, in response to his nomination, expressed his gratitude to Boakai for selecting him as his running mate, especially considering the difficult decision he had to make. Koung acknowledged the importance of the role and pledged to work tirelessly alongside Boakai to lead Liberia towards a brighter future.

Affectionately known as "Rescue One," Boakai has pledged his unwavering support to the cause of emancipating Liberia from the clutches of gangs that are looting the country's resources. Senator Koung, in his address, urged other opposition political figures to cooperate and work towards making President Weah a one-term president, which he believes will put the country on the right trajectory.

Opinion polls conducted have yielded mixed reactions, with some suggesting a Senator Lawrence and Boakai ticket due to female solidarity. However, many polled expressed concern regarding her numerical strength.
