Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story

I think the one of the most interesting things about Hamilton is the song "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story." 

I learned about Alexander Hamilton in school, but I sure didn't remember him. It was just some name I vaguely associated with the early United States. And I know I'm not alone in that area. 

But then someone wrote a book about his life. And then someone else read that book and thought it would make an amazing musical. 

And now, a couple hundred years after he died, suddenly everyone knows about Alexander Hamilton. Not only that, but they're thrilled to learn about him. Because the right people told his story.
