Alexander Hamilton"s Ethnicity and Abolitionism has been scrutinized since the Hit Broadway Play. We share these clips from 2004, July 12th a Discussion at the 200th Memorial of Hamilton's duel. Author Ron Chernow was asked to address Hamilton's ethicity by Harlem's very own QUEEN MOTHER DR. DELAUISE BLAKELY. Clip number two is a Abraham Lincoln's Speech on the framers of the Constitution and Their Votes on Slavery, read by Actor Sam Waterson. Clip number three is an excellent presentation on Hamilton's duel by Yale Professor Joanne Freeman.  

This is an excellent time for you to visit a few of the Historic sites associated with Hamilton.
