Wednesday, January 11th would’ve been the 262th birthday of Alexander Hamilton, the American founding father whose face adorns the 10-dollar bill. Hamilton was a major player in America’s infancy. He served as Washington’s aide during the American Revolution, and was the founder of America’s national bank. Despite all his effort, Hamilton lived a controversial life, and was most remembered for his death in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. Forgotten by America and the world, Hamilton was only known as the guy on the 10-dollar bill by many, until 2015 when the hit musical Hamilton renewed the public interest in him. Our Toastmasters of the Day, John Lo, would like to invite you to learn about Alexander Hamilton and the musical that shined the spotlight on him once again almost 200 years after his death.
