David Brooks - Alexander Hamilton: The America We Are Building

David Brooks, New York Times columnist and PBS Newshour commentator is speaking at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts on "Alexander Hamilton: The America We Are Building".

In 2015, Mr. Brooks was one of the first writers to review the Broadway Musical HAMILTON. His lecture will weave together aspects from the musical, Alexander Hamilton's vision for the United States, and the continuing impact of higher education. His talk will dive into Alexander Hamilton's idea of the United States as an industrial and economic superpower, as well as a nation distinguished by an engaged and educated citizenry. Following Mr. Brooks' lecture, there will be time for questions from the audience.

Net proceeds will fund student scholarships, programs, and future events like this in the College of Arts and Sciences at UAA.
