Racism “I was very moved by Lin-Manuel Miranda's commitment to bringing his work Hamilton to Puerto Rico and supporting the community that supported him when he was growing up and wanted to join the revitalization efforts of the island that is so rich in culture, beauty and heritage,” Winfrey said.
It should be noted that the Arts Fund was created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, his family, the Hamilton work and the Flam Foundation to “preserve, amplify America Mobile Number List and sustain the arts in Puerto Rico.” For its part, the UNIDOS fund seeks to meet the long-term needs of families in Puerto Rico.

According to The New York Times, a University of Michigan analysis published in January in the journal BMJ Global Health found that Puerto Rican survivors of Hurricane Maria waited twice as long—four months—to receive a comparable amount of individual aid ( almost a billion dollars) than the survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Texas and those of Hurricane Irma in Florida, despite the fact that the impact of Maria was stronger and more devastating because it caused the death of almost 2,975 people in Puerto Rico. Oprah Winfrey Philanthropy Oprah has stood out for her philanthropy in different associations. With this donation to Puerto Rico she reaffirms the noble commitment she has to helping others.
