Louis Armstrong poem

Louis


Talented, brave, driven.


Husband of Lucille Wilson, father of Sharon Preston-Folta, Dave Bartholomew, Clarence Armstrong.


Who loved music, hated prejudice, loved to make people happy with his music.


 Who played the trumpet, Stood up for his beliefs, and remained true to himself.


Who feared speaking out against racism, feared segregation, feared people trying to change him.


He developed a way of playing jazz both instrumentalist and vocalist, Had many hit songs, Famous for playing the trumpet and his powerful gravelly voice.


He wanted to play in front of blacks and whites together in peace, He wanted to see jazz music get famous.


 New Orleans, Louisiana.

It seems to me that Kashmir should be their own country. I think that Kashmir should be its own country. to begin with, Kashmir was not given a choice to have a war over their country. Secondly, Kashmir should have a choice if they want to be their own country or not. Ninety-one percent of Kashmir’s people want to be their own country and technically they should get to. Kashmir people want to get their own country but India and Pakistan want Kashmir.
