Sameer Rao on ColorLines reports that Broadway sensation "Hamilton" creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda spoke out against anti-immigrant electoral rhetoric during his commencement remarks at the University of Pennsylvania on May 16.

Miranda didn't name any specific political candidates during his keynote address, but he did criticize a vitriol that many trace to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.
