In 09' Penn Sate junior and "slam champ" Joshua Bennett performed live in the East Room of the White House and received a standing ovation from President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and about 200 guests. It was the first-ever White House "Poetry Jam" an evening of poetry, music and spoken word. As one of those voices, Joshua rose to the occasion with a particularly fitting piece: "Tamara's Opus," an original poem about his own struggle to communicate with his deaf sister.
"I want to leave an impression on people that Josh did it right," Joshua says. "That's the legacy that I'm concerned with: How will people remember you when you're gone?"
