Louis Armstrong and Friends


 A mural on a wall beyond a field on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Fort Myers.


The wall is behind McCollum Hall, where Louis Armstrong, B.B.King, Duke Ellington and others performed in the 1940s and 1950s.


The hall and the wall are in the Dunbar neighborhood of Fort Myers, a predominantly Black neighborhood of the city.  This post is linked to Monday Mural.

    Louis Armstrong was part of the sound track of my youth. His soul and energy comes through in this mural.
