hey yall. ive spent some time trying to educate myself on hamilton and lin manuel miranda before i watch the movie tonight. as much as i love the show, it and it’s writer are deeply problematic. i’ve intentionally or unintentionally ignored these things for years, but-
i’m trying to fix this now so i can fully contextualize and understand hamilton and it’s effect as a whole. i’m going to post some of the articles i read in this thread if any of y’all are interested.
