The Humane Order of African Redemption, an 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.

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".
