Liberians gathered in the streets of Monrovia this week to celebrate the end of the year-long Ebola epidemic in their country. Over the weekend, the World Health Organization declared that Liberia is finally free of Ebola. The crisis continues in Guinea and Sierra Leone.

New York Times reporter Helene Cooper was in Minnesota this month for MPR's Broadcast Journalist Series. Cooper was born in Monrovia and her colleagues at the Times won a Pulitzer Prize a few weeks ago for their coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Cooper talked with MPR News' Tom Weber about Ebola, Liberia, and her memoir, "The House at Sugar Beach."
