"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." – Washington Irving

We at Douglass & Zook remember, Lt. Col. Allen Allensworth, a trailblazing educator, military chaplain, and community leader, who passed away in Monrovia in September 1914, after a tragic accident. Born into slavery and rising to become the first African American lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, Allensworth’s life was marked by courage, faith, and pioneering vision. His story reminds us of the leadership, resilience, and service rooted in our own history. We honor his legacy and the lasting impact he made both locally and beyond.
