NEW YORK (AP) — Lin-Manuel Miranda saluted all the federal workers hard at work in Puerto Rico and says the rebuilding of the island is going well, despite what he considers a slow initial response.
The creator of “Hamilton” says “my hat goes off” to all the FEMA and National Guardsmen working hard, “but we’re working at a deficit from the initial response.”
Miranda will be honored this Thursday at the Latin Grammys with the Latin Recording Academy President’s Merit Award for his “outstanding and numerous contributions to the Latin community,” including his all-star song “Almost Like Praying” to help the devastated land of his ancestor.
The ceremony will be aired live on Univision from Las Vegas.
