"The Goodness and Humanity of Hamilton" by Mariana & Thomas Oller

Presented in partnership with the Hamilton Grange National Memorial as part of the 2019 HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAMILTON Program, this talk was given by Mariana Oller, Chair of the AHA Society and Associate Curator of Special Collections at Wellesley College and Tom Oller, Vice Chair of the AHA Society and Senior Lecturer in the Writing Program at Boston University.

While Alexander Hamilton is widely recognized for his contributions to the founding of our nation and the establishment of a sound financial and economic system, he is still often described in history books as a cold and uncaring bureaucrat. This talk uses historical evidence to reveal Hamilton as a warm, generous, emotional, and deeply human individual who advocated respect for and equal treatment of all groups in society.
