From Founding Father to American Musical: Hamilton

In 1757 Alexander Hamilton was born on the Caribbean Island of Nevis. Come 2015, Hamilton the Musical premieres on Broadway and Hamilton is born once again, in New York City.

But who is Hamilton? Who was Hamilton? What do we want him to be? And what do we need from him now?

I hope to explore the impact that Hamilton the Musical has had on the public memory of Alexander Hamilton; founding father and musical sensation.
