The '''Humane Order of African Redemption''', an [[order (honour)|order]] presented by the government of [[Liberia]], was founded on January 13, 1879 during the presidency of [[Anthony W. Gardiner]]. It is awarded for humanitarian work in Liberia, for acts supporting and assisting the Liberian nation and to individuals who have played a prominent role in the emancipation of [[African Americans]] and the pursuit of equal rights.

The Order replaced the older Liberian "Lone Star Medal".

The three grades of the Order are:

''* Grand Commander:'' The Grand Commander wears a wide ribbon on the right shoulder and the star of the Order on the left.

''* Knight Commander:'' The Knight Commander, wears a ribbon around the neck and a smaller but otherwise identical star.

''* Officer:'' The Officer wears a narrow ribbon with rosette on the left.

==The Regalia of the Order==
The medallion is a white enamel five pointed star with five gold balls on the points and golden rays between the arms. On the front of the star is the [[Coat of Arms of Liberia]]. On the reverse, the image of black people praying with broken chains under a cross with the motto "The love of liberty brought us here". The ribbon is red with one blue and three white stripes.
