The Opening of the Louis Armstrong Center

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 12, 2023

The Louis Armstrong Center in Corona, Queens opened its doors to the public last week. Across the street from where the jazz legend resided in his final years, the Center houses a 60,000-piece archive of his life, and a new performing arts center. Today, we discuss the Center with Regina Bain, the executive director of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, along with Jason Moran. Moran is a jazz pianist and curator of the Center's new exhibition, Here to Stay.
