“Hamilton: the Musical:” Black Actors Dress Up like Slave Traders…and It’s Not Halloween
Wow, that’s a lot of sources. I guess history might back me up on this one.
I didn’t say it, but this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy Hamilton. But keep fiction separate from history, and don’t be defensive when someone tells you they don’t care for the deification of slave owners.
