💨 Abstract

During Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, WTOP highlights the Ye Washon headstone in D.C.'s Oak Hill Cemetery, marking the grave of the first known Korean American born on U.S. soil. Ye Washon was the son of Ye Cha Yun, a Korean minister. The Yuns' presence in D.C. was notable, with Lady Bae, Ye Cha Yun's wife, being a prominent social figure.
