Join political strategist, activist, philanthropist, and author Luis A. Miranda Jr. with his family including his wife Dr. Luz Towns-Miranda, and his children Luz Miranda-Crespo, Miguel Towns, and Lin-Manuel Miranda — Grammy, Tony, and Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of Hamilton and In the Heights — for a conversation with co-host of The View Ana Navarro about family bonds, politics, hope and Luis’ new memoir, Relentless: My Story of the Latino Spirit that is Transforming America.
Luis A. Miranda Jr. arrived in New York City from Puerto Rico in 1974 to study psychology at NYU, but found himself drawn to community action, organizing his neighbors to fight for better schools for their children — and for more than four decades that followed, he’s been a political force, a powerful advocate for Latinx communities and immigrants in New York and across the country. All the while, he instilled these values in his children — including Lin-Manuel, who would go on to Broadway and Hollywood glory. In this candid conversation, hear the Mirandas’ story, from Puerto Rico to New York and beyond — and discover the inextricable braid of art, politics and activism that binds them together.
