The current issue of The Nation has my deep dive into Louis Armstrong and his archives housed at the Armstrong Center in Queens. It is the cover story! I’m delighted. Absolutely Louis Armstrong should be on the cover of our major magazines. thenation.com/article/cultur…

Louis Armstrong Gets the Last Word on Louis Armstrong

For decades, Americans have argued over the icon’s legacy. But his archives show that he had his own plans.

The power & beauty of a book is made manifest for me in many ways. One: when it leads me to someone's brilliance (such as Kimberly D Anderson and her work on temporality & records). The book: Urgent Archives, by Michelle Caswell. I'm in constant awe.
