Lin-Manuel Miranda is asking for some paciencia y fe, saying in a note posted to social media on Monday that he will do better representing Afro-Latinos in his future projects.
Miranda's statements come days after "In The Heights," a musical about a vibrant and diverse Latinx community in New York City, was released in theaters. The film has been criticized for featuring dark-skinned Afro-Latinos in background and dance scenes but not in main roles. "In trying to paint a mosaic of this community, we fell short," he said. "I'm truly sorry."More Related News
