New York Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the smash hit musical Hamilton, is practically a household name. And as a theater enthusiast who has long admired his work, I ve had a peripheral knowledge of his father, Luis. It s hard to watch any interview with Lin without detecting his father s influence on him and, very often, Luis is seen in the background cheering on his son.
Now, the release of a new HBO documentary, Siempre, Luis, puts the father center stage.
Long before his son was in the spotlight, Luis Miranda made a name for himself as a fixture in New York s state politics, first cutting his teeth in the 1980s working for Mayor Ed Koch. He has since gone on to advise Sen. Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton and a host of other political luminaries.
At the RKO Hamilton Theater, development and historic preservation go head-to-head Selina Yang / Staff Photographer By Lucy Brenner | February 12, 2021, 2:29 AM
Once a lively hub for music and dance, the RKO Hamilton Theater, an ornately decorated building located on the corner of 146th Street and Broadway now lies vacant. Recently, local residents have begun to discuss plans to purchase and repurpose the site for the benefit of the community, with many hoping to redevelop the site into affordable housing and a community arts center. However, the theater’s historical and cultural significance has sparked debate on how to balance the need for development and preserving the site’s historic integrity.
When the first cases of COVID-19 were reported in the United States last year, public health officials and community experts warned that Black and other people of colour would be disproportionately hard hit.
Their warning was quickly proven true, with Black, Hispanic and other racialised communities bearing the brunt of infections, deaths and hospitalisations linked to the coronavirus in the year since it began spreading across the country.
Now, many of those experts say a dearth of data on race related to the administration of COVID-19 vaccines risks leaving those same communities behind – or worse, furthering the damage the virus continues to wreak.
