Hamilton just wrapped up a sold-out run in Rochester. This hour, we dig into the history on which the show is built. Essentially, we're asking whether Hamilton is accurate. Or perhaps better put, is it accurate enough?
There's always creative license taken with these kinds of shows or films, but historians point out that many Americans are getting their understanding of historical figures through the stage or screen. Our guests discuss it:
- Michael Oberg, distinguished professor of history at SUNY Geneseo
- LindaSue Park, award-winning author
- Miriam Burstein, professor and associate chair of the Department of English at the College at Brockport
