The West African Methodist Collegiate School Band

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Sierra Leone, this narrative follows liberated African slaves as they strive for education and enlightenment. Barred from learning and worship, they unite to champion truth, justice, and honor, determined to uplift their community. The establishment of a school in 1911 symbolizes their hard-won victory, starting with just 30 students in a modest wooden house. The story celebrates their resilience and hope, encapsulated in the rallying cry "Rah Rah! Rah!" and the motto "Plus Ultra," reflecting their aspiration for a brighter future.
