The Professor
In a meager, one-bedroom apartment on the outskirts of New York City lives a quiet, old man who was once President of an African country.

Former law professor and Supreme Court justice David D. Kpormakpor served as Interim President of Liberia between 1994-95, during its disastrous civil war.
