When your humble blogger is not at the Narrows, he's rustling around the area looking for artistic and historic opportunities.
One is the Colonial African Burial Ground on Farewell Street in Newport. It's free and it's part of the history of Newport that has gotten traditionally little attention: slavery.
Keith Stokes, head of the Newport Chamber of Commerce, and his wife have made documenting and promoting this history one of their life's passion. Visit their very fine website at www.colonialcemetery.com.
