@constitutingamerica: Nobody in that room knew who he was yet. Janine Turner wanted to show Hamilton at the very beginning. Not the man who would build the American financial system. Not the man who would write 51 of the Federalist Papers. The young aide-de-camp to George Washington who had just walked into the room. Raised in poverty by a single mother in the Caribbean, he was self-made in every sense of the word. What made him extraordinary was the combination no one else had. Adams was the intellectual. Jefferson was the philosopher. Hamilton was both. And he could also fight. Every person in that room was about to meet someone they would never forget. The Pursuit is a vertical series written, directed, and starring Janine Turner for Constituting America, featuring the Founding Fathers and Mothers who shaped the nation. Their stories. Their decisions. Their courage. New episodes release weekly through July 4 in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. #ThePursuit #ConstitutingAmerica
