   1901:  Louis  Armstrong  b.,  He  loved the idea of America so much he
   insisted he was born on the 4th of July. He shattered traditional Jazz
   trumpet  and  although called an "Uncle Tom", this son of a prostitute
   quietly  and effectively broke down the colour barriers in America. He
   was  the  first  black  entertainer  to  hold  wide  appeal  to  white
   audiences.  In  the  late  50s after breaking loose from the gangsters
   that  managed  his  career,  notably  Joe Glaser. He spoke out against
   racism,  swore by Marijuana and Swiss Krissy, his own patent laxative.
   He  was  an  innocent  who  had  emerged as a commanding figure in the
   history    of    music    and    the    stomping    out   of   racism.
