this interesting event.

Dear Armstrong fan,
  This is just a quick e-Pops reminder of the FREE event we're holding 
on Tuesday, September 18.
  Louis Armstrong & Little Rock: What Really Happened
  A Reporter's Story, 50 Years Later

Join the Louis Armstrong House Museum and Langston Hughes Community 
Library as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of school desegregation 
in Little Rock with an interview with former newspaper reporter Larry 
Lubenow. In September 1957 Lubenow broke the story that Armstrong was 
canceling his State Department-sponsored Russian tour to protest the 
injustices occurring in Arkansas. Vanity Fair Contributing Editor David 
Margolick will interview Lubenow in a program that promises to reveal 
stunning new information about the reporter's historic evening with 
Armstrong. Come hear the real story behind the AP article Lubenow wrote 
50 years ago.
