The Hamilton creator offered support to the Black Lives Matter movement while apologizing for the delay

posted a heartfelt video showing support to protests over the death of George Floyd.

"We spoke out on the day of the Pulse shooting. We spoke out when Vice President Mike Pence came to our show 10 days after the election. That we have not yet firmly spoken the inarguable truth that Black Lives Matter and denounced systematic racism and white supremacy from our official channels is a moral failure on our part," Miranda said in a video posted Sunday. "As the writer of the show, I take responsibility and apologize for my part in this moral failure.

"It's up to us and words and deeds to stand up for our fellow citizens. It's up to us to do the work to be better allies and have each other's backs," Miranda added.In his statement, Miranda refers to the 2016 incident in which then-Vice President-elect Mike Pence attended a showing of the musical in New York City and was promptly booed by the crowd upon his arrival, days after the election.
