Event Details

In one of the ironies of New York City history, Washington Heights is named after one of the greatest American defeats of the Revolutionary War. Almost three thousand patriots were captured by the British and England occupied New York City for the next seven years. Like so many New York neighborhoods, The Heights passed from upper class whites to African-Americans, from Jews to Dominicans, and no doubt in the not so distant future, it will continue to evolve and change with the times.  Join Professor Ron Brown as he continues his series on New York City neighborhoods and explores the history of the Washington Heights.  (Sponsored by the Friends of the Library)
