Eric K Washington
I'm a local historian, author and recipient of the Municipal Art Society’s 2010 MASterworks Award. My research on Harlem, Trinity Church Cemetery and Upper Manhattan is reflected in numerous publications and presentations. My ongoing study of Trinity Church Cemetery--Manhattan’s only active burying ground--has exponentially increased the parish’s official count of its notable burials. I am featured prominently in Phillip Lopate’s Waterfront: A Journey Around Manhattan, and Jonathan R. Wynn’s The Tour Guide: Walking and Talking New York. I'm also the owner of Tagging-the-Past, which endeavors to reconnect forgotten history to present landscapes through articles, talks and tours.
