Echoes from the Attic

Stories of Slavery and Freedom-Making in Newport, RI

An accessible, softcover volume which takes up the unfinishedconversation about what it is to be a descendent member of the Black Communityin Newport, RI, and beyond, today.

The EdwardW. Kane and Martha J. Wallace Center for Black History is housed in the City ofNewport, 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, aspirit bundle found under the floorboards of the house during its restoration;the bundle is the springboard for this new publication which featurescontributions from scholars and from members of the Descendent Community inNewport. Moving beyond the Gilded Age and stories of Black wealth andenterprise, there are also stories of slavery, of resistance, ofregeneration and persistence.
