June
7, 8 and 9, 2010, The Women of Maryland held a Peaceful Demonstration.
Thousands of them showed up. The March was peaceful! Their DEMANDS include but
not limited to: 1) REPARATION, RESTITUTION, DEBT-WAIVER for all the SHIPWRECKS
Victims and 2) Refurbishment, Rehabilitation, and the Paving of the
Fishtown-Harper Highway
Considering the tremendous pain visited
upon our Women and our community by the shipwrecks, we the Men of Maryland
County will march on Harper City on Monday, June 14, 2010 to express our SOLIDARITY and SUPPORT!
We will walk in silence throughout the major streets of Harper City. We will dress in white tops—the color of peace and absolute freedom. All the Victims of the shipwrecks cannot continue to suffer abuses, neglect perpetrated by ship-owners and their partners in Government.

Please join us in this Peaceful March in support of our Women’s DEMANDS!
The Peaceful March will begin at 6am from the Merry-Go-Round.
From the Merry-Go-Round, we will march
throughout the major streets of Harper and then to the Harper City Hall where a
Statement will be read and presented to the Superintendent of Maryland County,
Hon. Gblebo-Brown to be handed over to H.E. Dr. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf,
President of the Republic of Liberia.
The
March will center around the slogan: This
is not only a road and ship issue; it is a human life issue!
We will call on the international
community to act and condemn the many shipwrecks and the suffering and deaths
it brought on our poor women, men and children and the County!
