‘Hamilton’ creator takes on role as activist for Puerto Rico

Lin-Manuel Miranda has a new role: as an emerging political activist. The Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, composer and actor is calling on Congress to do more to help Puerto Rico recover from the devastation of Hurricane Maria, which struck the island two months ago. Miranda sits down with John Yang to explain what the island means to him and everything he’s doing to help.
