What A Wonderful World: Mayor Mamdani Announces Free Admission Day at Louis Armstrong House Museum
NEW YORK, NY – TODAY, Mayor Zohran Mamdani kicked off Black History Month with a visit to the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Corona, Queens – the longtime home of the legendary jazz musician and his family. Standing in the neighborhood Armstrong loved for more than 30 years, Mayor Mamdani announced that the Louis Armstrong Museum will offer free admission to all visitors on Sunday, February 7, ensuring Black history is accessible to all New Yorkers.
“I am grateful for the Louis Armstrong House Museum for its work to preserve and showcase the legacy of Louis Armstrong. As we begin Black History Month, I’m inspired by the museum’s commitment to opening its doors wide and inviting every New Yorker to experience the enduring achievements of a great jazz pioneer, American icon, and long-time New Yorker,” said Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani.
“We are honored by Mayor Mamdani’s support of the Louis Armstrong legacy and the community he called home in New York. Armstrong was a jazz pioneer, America’s first Black popular music icon, and a global superstar. Born and raised in New Orleans, he called Corona, Queens home for 30 years. We are overjoyed that so many will be able to experience this legacy completely free as a part of our collective celebration of Black History,” said Regina Bain, Executive Director, Louis Armstrong House Museum. “Thank you Mayor Mamdani for all of your support for art and culture, legacy and remembering, in New York City.”
