“I’m sorry for not pushing harder and faster and speaking those truths under the Hamilton banner,” said Miranda. “While we live in a country where black people are under attack by emboldened white supremacy, police brutality and centuries of systemic anti-black racism, it’s up to us in words and deeds to stand up for our fellow citizens, it’s up to us to do the work to be better allies and have each other’s backs.
Along with the tweet, Miranda provided links to Black Lives Matter, the NAACP and the Minnesota Freedom Fund. On Saturday, Morrisseau posted on Facebook to share her thoughts on the recent protests, writing “When we mourn corporations that are on fire, we have to ask ourselves – do said corporations mourn the daily fires that plague us on the streets? On our jobs? When we sacrifice our health during a pandemic to ensure that their economic bottom line is reached?”
“It’s time to get educated,” said Broadway actor Dante White in a video shared to Twitter on Sunday. “It’s time to learn, it’s time to watch the documentaries, read the articles and understand the history, understand the rage, understand why we are where we are right now. Silence is not an option.”
