Ambassador Satch himself! The truest of true jazz legends. He rose up from a childhood in one of the poorest neighborhoods in New Orleans to be one of the most beloved musicians in the world. But he faced the harsh reality of racism every day, fame or no fame. He even went up against the President of the United States over the issue of segregation in schools. Not only was Louis Armstrong a jazz icon, but he was known for his optimistic happy attitude and his giving soul. You'll love his story!


As we recognize Black History Month, Louis Armstrong's story is the second in a 4-week installment of influential black Americans in music and film from the 20s, 30s, and 40s who helped pave the way for equality in the entertainment industry.
