On Monday, November 9, 2015, the New-York Historical Society presented Ron Chernow and Lin-Manuel Miranda with the distinguished 2015 History Makers Award during its annual History Makers Gala at Cipriani Wall Street. The event featured a conversation with the honorees moderated by Charlie Rose and a special tribute to Richard Gilder, Trustee and Chairman Emeritus of the New-York Historical Society. More than 700 people were in attendance.
"We are very pleased to present Ron Chernow and Lin-Manuel Miranda with our History Makers Award, as their exceptional body of work offers a truly fresh perspective on American history," said New-York Historical Society President and CEO Dr. Louise Mirrer. "Both Mr. Chernow's award-winning biography Alexander Hamilton and Mr. Miranda's sensational Broadway show Hamilton humanize a legendary New Yorker and shed light on the complex history of America's founding era, making it accessible and compelling for today's audiences."
This year's gala raised nearly $2.9 million dollars. The funds raised benefit the New-York Historical Society's programs, including its major Museum exhibitions and education programs serving over 200,000 New York City public school students annually.
