The incredible untold story of Louis Armstrong, an American original, an African American cultural touchstone, one of the most important figures in the history of Jazz, and one of the greatest American entertainers of the 20th century. From a dirt-poor boy raised amid the hustlers, pimps, and whores of turn-of-the-century New Orleans, Louis Armstrong mastered his music and became a figure larger than life. He helped create that most American of music genres: Jazz. Over his lifetime, he became one of the most recognizable personalities on the planet. He traveled the world, conquered music, radio, and film, overcame prejudice, spread joy, and convinced us all that this really can be "a wonderful world."

Louis Armstrong
Let’s not lie now, african and African Americans created the blues, and made amazing music in the early 1900s. It’s a shame that we’re still never going to get the justice we deserve on any place of the world with them always lying about are history and downgrading us. And trying to make us feel lesser then we actually are. Like how the place they call “Africa” isn’t even her real name and her real name means “Garden of Eden” or “Mother of the world”. It’s a shame most Africans and African Americans will never know there true worth.
