Unfortunately, not just limited to the Jorquelleh Kpelle people, but most Liberian and African culture and traditions are fading away. As a social scientist, Sumo's interest in preserving the Kpelle tradition's practices, especially of customary marriage, a significant component of the tradition, is on the verge of collapse. Nevertheless, Liberians, and Africans, should not neglect their way of life. This is the primary reason for writing his first book, A Guide to Customary Marriage Among the Jorquelleh Kpelle People. Because of the decline in the oral nature of the Kpelle heritage, he believes written accounts are better than oral accounts. Therefore, Sumo aims to dig up hidden causes of the wrong applications of the Kpelle tradition, relative to customary marriage procedures, with the anticipation to envoke a vigorous comeback and remain on track of traditional marriage procedures and teach future generations to maintain the tradition.After working for thirteen years as a social worker, Davidson enrolled at Cuttington University in mid-2013. A self-sponsored student throughout his academic sojourn, he studied Public Administration, emphasizing Peace & Development Studies. He completed his studies on August 4, 2017, with honors, as magna cum laude, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Administration.Sumo loves extensive reading and writing based on his philosophy that reading makes a person wiser.He is married to Nancy G. Sumo, and they are blessed with four children; Priscillia, Jonah, Susan, and Amanda. Davidson Sumo lives with his family in Liberia.voir moins
