Kane and Martha J. Wallace Center for Black History is housed in the city of Newport's oldest documented 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 descendant community in Newport.

Rice, and Anthony BoguesWith stories from members of the descendant community in Newport.…
