Liberians in America

Prompted by last week's election of Wilmot Collins in Helena, Montana as that state's first Black and first Liberian mayor, let's take a closer look at this ethnic group's distribution across the US. Montana did not count Liberians in the 2010 Census, most likely due to low sampling. Minnesota has the largest number of Liberians, while Rhode Island has the highest percentage of Liberians.
