Full Description
The Edward
W. Kane and Martha J. Wallace Center for Black History is housed in the City of
Newport, Rhode Island's oldest surviving home at the Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House (ca. 1697).
The title, Echoes from the Attic, comes from the discovery of a nkisi, a
spirit bundle found under the floorboards of the house during its restoration;
the bundle is the springboard for this new publication which features
contributions from scholars and from members of the Descendent Community in
Newport. Moving beyond the Gilded Age and stories of Black wealth and
enterprise, there are also stories of slavery, of resistance, of
regeneration and persistence.
