Jehudi Ashmun was an influential American religious leader and social reformer known for his pivotal role in creating the colony of Liberia in West Africa as a resettlement destination for free people of color from the United States. Arriving in Monrovia in 1822, he assumed the role of the United States government’s agent and effectively served as the colony’s governor for two terms.
