SUMMARY:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion \nThursday\, July 25\, 6:30 pm | General Admission $10 / MEMBERS FREE \nTo the world\, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius\, unparalleled success\, and unassailable character. To Sharon\, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome\, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature. In private\, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.  \nJoin the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for a screening of the Emmy-winning documentary (2023) exploring the life and legacy of Louis Armstrong through his relationship with the daughter that the public never knew existed.  Based on a revealing memoir written by Armstrong’s silent daughter\, the film seeks to correct a historical narrative relying on caricature for too long. A discussion with his daughter\, Sharon Preston-Folta  will follow.  Sharon Preston – Folta is the Executive Producer and  Writer to Little Satcmo. Sharon became a published author with her memoir “Living in The Shadow of my Father\, Louis Daniel Armstrong” in 2012\, which made public the private family life of Louis Armstrong. \nPurchase Tickets
