Agnes Kamara-Umunna will speak about the still-unfolding toll of Liberia's civil wars and the healing process she has been trying so hard to foster. In 2004, Kamara-Umunna helped start a United Nations-sponsored radio show in Monrovia called "Straight From The Heart," immersing herself in the city's slums and using the show as a vehicle to coax confessions out of former child soldiers. Her book, written with Emily Holland, is a collection of narratives she began collecting through the Monrovia-based Liberia Truth & Reconciliation Commission.
