North Carolina home preserved to commemorate legendary musician and civil rights activist, and to serve as arts hubIt was a surreal experience for Dr Samuel Waymon, Nina Simone’s youngest sibling, to walk back into the renovated childhood home that he once shared with the singer and civil rights activist.

On the freshly painted mint-blue wall hangs a shadow box that encases the rust brown va...
