What better way to celebrate than with one of the greatest cultural events in White House history from the first spring of the Obama presidency. On May 12, 2009, 'An Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word' gave us a sneak peak at a song from a proposed hip-hop album that would become the Broadway classic 'Hamilton' six years later.
Will we ever have a White House that has such cultural highlights again?
Who, for example, visited the current president for a photo op (there are no musical or poetry performances there since 2017) during his first spring in the office?
