 Kwame Clement brings to his job as the Host and Managing Editor of The African World a unique set of skills and techniques—honed and developed over the years as a practicing journalist and lawyer—for analyzing and getting to the core of a story.
Between 1980 and 1990, Kwame anchored the nightly television news on Liberia’s national television network, where he started off as a news reporter and eventually became Director of News and Public Affairs. In June 1990, after being imprisoned by the military government of Liberia for his fearless reporting, Kwame was forced to flee the country as he and other journalists, committed to fair and objective news coverage, became targets of various warring factions in the Liberian Civil War.
For several years now, Kwame has practiced antitrust law as an associate in a leading Washington D.C.-based law firm. Prior to active practice of law, Kwame won a much-coveted federal judicial clerkship, and served as a Law Clerk to Judge Carlos F. Lucero of the Federal Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, in Denver Colorado.
Kwame holds a Juris Doctor (JD) degree with Highest Honors from The George Washington University Law School, in Washington, D.C. While in law school, Kwame won the Corpus Juris Secundum Award for attaining the highest grade in both Torts and Civil Procedure.
Kwame also holds a BSc. Degree in Economics from the University of Liberia. |
