A veteran of New York and national politics, Luis Miranda embodies the relentless spirit of progress of American immigrants. In Relentless, he shares a fascinating narrative of his life and career-from his early days as a radically minded Puerto Rican activist to his decades of political advice and problem-solving. Miranda recounts the thrill of the ascendency of Hamilton, created by his son Lin-Manuel, and he details the suffering after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Amid the triumphs and challenges, Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics, demographics, and society.
This event features a moderated panel with Luis Miranda, Lehigh University Associate Professor of English and Africana Studies, Stephanie Powell Watts, and City of Bethlehem Council Member, Rachel Leon.
This event will have an ASL interpreter.
