At about 2:30 a.m., a bunch of very angry roosters began co-co-loe-loing outside my window. Loudly. I jumped out of bed thinking it was my 6 a.m. wake up call.

Yesterday I celebrated Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday in West Africa. I traveled to New Kru Town, a small Liberian community. During the ride over I listened to excerpts of Dr. King’s speech on a local radio station. Even here, King’s powerful 1963 address inspires and uplifts people in this war-torn nation.

Just in time for the holiday season, I gave 9 Liberian journalists a dose of cheer and goodwill.
The group of court reporters received certificates of honor on Saturday from ICFJ and Knight International for completing 12 weeks of intensive training on covering the justice system.
