In Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill, Davida Siwisa James leads readers through four centuries of the storied New York neighborhood where George Washington headquartered in 1776, Alexander Hamilton built his country home, George Gershwin wrote his first hit, young Norman Rockwell learned to draw, and Ralph Ellison wrote Invisible Man. Her history focuses on the vibrant people and the beautiful architecture of today's landmark district, touching on The Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance, as well as artists and luminaries who called it home, such as Thurgood Marshall, Duke Ellington, Mary Lou Williams, and W.E.B. Du Bois.
