Inside the media press room when the one, the only, the living-legend Lin-Manuel Miranda took the stage the assembled group from all over the world stopped and paid attention.  It's that HAMILTON power, you dig, wanting to be in the "room where it happens, the room where it happens."

Well, we were.  The New York Amsterdam News was back representing #BlackExcellence, the #Heights, #Harlem and all things groovy about being New Yorkers.
