With a POD of 1914, is there a way to make it more prosperous??? I am asking for Romania levels of wealth, not Iceland, where it is on the edge of being industrialized.
What type of resources does Liberia have? I don't know a lot about Liberia off the top of my head

Having said that the country had very serious internal problems with the American Liberians trying to lord it over the natives. Liberia has been described as being Gone With the Wind with an all black cast.
What if some of the Traditionally black colleges decided to reach out to the Liberian elite to be part of their alumni culture, with an eye to maintaining social and networking connections a la the Rhodes scholarship model?
Maybe even have some back and forth, so that a significant portion of black American graduates would have a "semester abroad" in Liberia, while much of the Liberia american blacks, especially the more upper crust get educated here.
Then as American blacks gain more political power a sort of second "special relationship" develops between American Blacks and Liberia, so that Liberia has a strong lobby in America.
Sort of like the support Israel gets from Jews and some Evangelical Christians.
