The Alexander Hamilton Award was created to celebrate
New York and honor those individuals helping to foster the revitalization
of our nation’s cities. We chose to name the award after Hamilton
because, like the Manhattan Institute, he was a fervent proponent
of commerce and civic life, and he believed the health of the nation
hinged upon vibrant cities. He was also the quintessential New Yorker.
Hamilton went to university, joined the army, and practiced law
in New York. His last home stands in Harlem; his grave is at the
crown of Wall Street across from the bank he started; the newspaper
he founded is still shaking things up. New York’s style—passionate,
entrepreneurial, ambitious, inclusive—reflected his vision
of America and shaped his politics.
ALEXANDER
HAMILTON 2007 AWARD DINNER
Tuesday, May 8th
On May 8, 2007, the Manhattan Institute hosted the
annual Alexander Hamilton Award Dinner. The black-tie fundraiser raised over $1.3 million
dollars for the Manhattan Institute.
Recipients of the prestigious award included the Honorable Edward I. Koch, 105th Mayor of
New York, and K. Rupert Murdoch, Chairman of News Corp. We are proud to celebrate their
contributions to our great city.
