Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, members of the senate who are here, members of the house of representatives, and all who have come here tonight to join with us as we celebrate the awarding of the Freedom Award to Linmanuel Miranda. I am the president and ceo of the u. S. Capital Historical Society and a former member of congress from connecticut. This evening, we pay tribute, as i mentioned, to Linmanuel Miranda, an extraordinarily talented composer, lyricist, playwright, and actor. As a Historical Society, we usually honor historians. Last year, we honored David Mccullough with our Freedom Award. This year, we honor an artist to transformed history into the hit musical, hamilton. With a hiphop score, catchy lyrics and contemporary choreography, americans of all generations and backgrounds are learning about Alexander Ehrenberg and burr, and how their conflicting vision shaped our young country. 200 years later, we grapple with some of the same issues. Thank you, Linmanuel Miranda,
