Hamilton Cast Members Sing "Dear Theodosia"

 
 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduces Lin-Manuel Miranda who introduces other Hamilton cast members to sing "Dear Theodosia" on the January 6th Anniversary.

I call your attention to a new year
that brings hope for the future, 
new energy to face the tasks ahead of us, 
and a renewed promise to strengthen the foundations of our democracy.

We are all stewards of the American experiment
working to pass down to our children and our grandchildren 
a more perfect union
that treats all its citizens with fairness and equity.

We should never take our rights and liberties for granted 
and we must remain committed to finding 
a way forward together.

I believe no challenge is worth
abandoning our efforts to unite as Americans.
We'll keep working generation after generation
until we reach that someday, someday.

--Lin Manuel Miranda
