Ed Hotaling Obituary
Greg Hotaling says his father died of heart failure Monday at the age of 75. He had been in a nursing home since a serious car accident in 2007.
Born and raised in Saratoga Springs, New York, Hotaling worked in Iran, France, Greece and Israel as a young man. He was later Middle East bureau chief at CBS and McGraw-Hill World News. Among other things, he covered the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War in 1967. He also worked for an NBC affiliate in Washington.
Services are Friday and Saturday in Washington.
He is survived by two sons, Luc and Greg.

I met Ed in DC for his lecture and book signing on Jimmy Winkfield. We had a great time talking about African American jockeys. What a source of information he was! My condolences to his family.

I didn't know Ed Hotaling. But I was deeply moved by his obit published in the NY Times. His scholarship and zeal to expand Americans' awareness of the full history of this country's exploitation of slaves and their descendants make a remarkable legacy.
