Our island is complicated.
We were a Spanish colony
until the United States acquired us in 1898,
after war, when we became a U.S. territory
and continued to be a colony.
Congress made us citizens,
but we don't have the same rights
as our fellow Americans.
We can fight in wars,
but we can't vote in presidential elections,
and we don't have representatives in Congress.
It's like a two-hour flight to Miami gives you rights
that you don't have in Puerto Rico.

to get packages
that my mother would send to me.
I have been in New York a couple of months,
and the guy looks at me, and he says,
"I'm Miranda too.
But not of your kind."
[laughing] And I'm like--
I didn't get what he meant until much later.
It was like, "Oh, he was Italian American,
not Latino or Puerto Rican."
Not everyone wanted us here.
We couldn't get the same jobs.
It was hard to find housing.
It didn't matter if you were a janitor

What they saw was Puerto Rican,

I always want to right a wrong.
And when I got to NYU, I realized
that minority students had fought hard

So I immediately saw it as my responsibility

- Luz and I-- we were very much involved
empowering parents in Washington Heights.
Trying to build more schools,
of trying to gain consciousness
of an immigrant population
that was totally disenfranchised,
and came in contact with political people.
Someone told me to apply
to this special advisor position
for Hispanics for Ed Koch.
- In the past, the city was a pushover.
In the past,
these same hired guns gave away the city.
You have to understand,
it makes no difference at all
whether you shout or not.
It doesn't move me.
It doesn't change me.
- Mr. Koch, I must say you are full of shit.
- If you don't wanna hear me, we won't discuss it.
- And I remember in that first interview
raising with the mayor
several things that I did not agree with.
You're in an interview to get a job,
and here you are: "I don't agree with you on this
and I don't agree"--
pair of balls.
And the mayor said to me, "Listen...
"if you agree with me
"in six out of every ten things,
"and then in those other four things,
"you shut your mouth,
we'll be in a good place."
- He came there to be the head of Latino affairs
for Mayor Koch.
He took what had been a token position
and turned it into a real position
with access and influence,
and he became one of Koch's top advisors
and one of the folks that Koch really relied on
and trusted, especially during the stress of a campaign.
- I think Koch loved him
because he was authentic
and he was as brash as Koch was.
I was in the administration already.
I was in a leadership training program,
and there is this obnoxious...
leader who wouldn't stop.
You would say something,
respond to his question,
and he was never satisfied,
and he would just get more and more irate
and belligerent,
and so we finished the session. I said, "Who was that asshole?"
- I think part of the reason why Koch liked him is because
he was a Puerto Rican version of Koch.
There's a bluntness about Luis.
He can be absolutely unsparing
in his criticisms
of the people that he's trying to bring together.
He doesn't pull any punches,
and I think Koch probably appreciated that.
- You know, I am not someone
who turns the other cheek if you hit me, right?
I hit back.
- Also, one of the things that Luis was able to do
at a critical moment during the Koch years
was to recognize that the story of New York
by the 1980s wasn't just going to be a Puerto Rican story.
- I knew in my position
that Puerto Ricans were
the largest numbers of Latinos
and the one that voted,
but I began to see
the large numbers
of Dominicans, of Colombians,
of Ecuadorians
that were moving into the city,
and then President Reagan approved
the amnesty law.
- President Reagan today signed
a massive immigration reform law.
The new law grants amnesty to illegal aliens
who lived here before 1982.
I saw that as an incredible opportunity
to reach out to other Latinos
to open government to them.
[percussive music]
- What he did was quite innovative.
He used the power of the numbers
by doing research.
How many were registered?
How many were voting?
And then transferring that data
into action
to say to elected officials,
"This is a growing population
"that not only are your constituents.
"We are here, and we're gonna stay here,
and we intend to flex our political muscle."
[upbeat music]
- There's an indispensable person
in our community.
I nominate Luis Miranda.
[cheers and applause]
- Sorry, Ed, I can't produce the show tonight.

Okay.
- Luis has this talent of bringing people together.
He also has a gift for fundraising,
which is not unimportant.
[punchy music]
[all singing a cappella]
[cheers and applause]
- I always thought
about my next step,
and now that I have been in this Latino lane
and have pretty good connections
in government, in the nonprofit sector,
it's probably a good moment to move
into doing my own thing.
[upbeat music]
- When I became elected
and when I emerge
as member of the DNC and all this stuff,
Luis was my Sancho Panza.
Let's put it that way.
But Luis was always the guy telling me,
"This is measurable.
"These are the things that are right.
These are the things that are wrong."
- Roberto came to me and said,
"I met with this guy who's running for the Senate.
"His name is Chuck Schumer,
"and I think it's a good campaign
for you to begin to do some work."
- Next--what is it--senator?
- Your mouth to God's ears. - [laughs]
- Congressman Charles Schumer has his sights
on the U.S. Senate.
Tonight, Schumer is officially in the race
and faces a tough fight ahead.
- The only real thing that I learned
in my psych PhD was statistics,
so I told him, "I wanna see a poll."
He was, like, 5%.
So I remember going to Roberto and saying,
"Dude, I wanted to go into politics,
"but I don't wanna start my career
with this guy who has not a prayer."
Then I met with Chuck Schumer,
and I was fascinated
by his energy.
- Atta-baby!
- He was a good fundraiser,
and he was relentless
in his conviction that he could do the job.
So I took on the job
doing the Latino part of the campaign.
- When Luis came on the scene, there was a Latino community
that was basically not organized.
They didn't have many elected officials,
they didn't have people in positions of power,
and Luis knew how to take the large numbers of Hispanics,
but more importantly, the needs
and channel it into organizations
that were powerful and had effect,
and you knew as a political leader,
when Luis asked for something, people were gonna listen.
[percussive music]
I ran against Al D'Amato.
He was a giant of the Senate,
conservative Republican,
and no one thought I could beat him.
- And Luz was like,
"Alfonse D'Amato is a good guy.
"Every time we have a problem,
I call his office, and they fix it."
I'm like, "Not even my wife is in favor of my candidate."
- When he took on the Schumer race,
this was a difficult race.
You know, in some ways, it was a bit of a suicide mission.
- The Spanish campaign I did was based on a slogan:
"No te vistas que no vas."
And it was the motto,
"Don't think that you're going places.
You are not, and we're gonna stop you."
We got overwhelming support
in the Latino community, and then...
[cheers and applause] - I'm Chuck Schumer,
the next senator of New York.
- He became the senator.
And here comes Hillary Clinton.
She wants to run for the Senate.
- I am honored today
to announce my candidacy
for the United States Senate from New York.
- I get approached
to work with her campaign.
[patriotic orchestral music]
So now, you know, in a couple of years,
we have the two senators from the state of New York
as part of our portfolio.
- Now Congressman Adriano Espaillat,
Mayor de Blasio,
Tish James,
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
- How he evolved
in terms of identity politics,
Luis became a political consultant
that was able to provide advice
and shape a message
beyond the Latino community.
[indistinct chatter]
- It's wild here, because we have a year ahead
with the appropriations bill, with the farm bill...
- As political operatives, there weren't too many
that were Latino that crossed over.
Luis mainstreamed
Latino politics
and Latino culture in New York
in a very, very different way
than anybody that I've known has done.

Thank you.
So as soon as we realized
"Hamilton" was gonna be a success,
I knew I wanted to bring "Hamilton" to Puerto Rico,
and so with Hurricane Maria, the only thing that changed was
the timetable of our announcement.
- [speaks Spanish]
[applause]
- Thank you, Luis.
In January of 2019,
we will welcome a brand-new production
of "Hamilton"
to Teatro U.P.
[applause]
And we will also be here to raise money
for the rebuilding of the island
and for the rebuilding of the arts on the island.
[applause]
- Listen, Puerto Rico's gotta be open for business,
so let's plant the biggest flag we can
and say, "Hey, 'Hamilton's' coming to Puerto Rico,
and the original star's gonna be in it."
- Thanks. [laughter]
And our hope is to raise a lot of money
for Puerto Rico with this,
for arts funding, for the university itself.
- That's disrespectful.
[crowd booing]
- Protestors came onstage
because we had been very active
in Congress passing something to help--
to allow Puerto Rico to file for bankruptcy,
and you know what?
Valid point,
because what happened as a result of that was
the formation of the PROMESA board,
which basically asked for austerity,
and most of the cuts came at the expense
of the University of Puerto Rico,
and that was devastating
as the education of lots of kids.
And I hate that, but I have to live with it.
[crowd shouting]
- The island was saddled
with billions of dollars in debt
and didn't have the tools
to manage the debt.
Right? Why?
Because it couldn't declare bankruptcy.
It couldn't do what other municipalities,
for example, in the United States, had done.
The decision to get behind
this particular political solution
is not an easy one.
PROMESA ought to be criticized.
The piece is complicated, right,
because the problem isn't PROMESA.
The problem is American colonialism.
- [shouting in Spanish]
[crowd shouting]
- Hey, guys, listen.
Can we do that? Do that?
Hey. Hey, guys. Guys, guys.
[all shouting in Spanish]
[crowd chanting]
I don't have any outside agenda
other than to make art and make Puerto Rico proud.
