Former President John F. Kennedy played a vital role in the civil rights movement, but his life was ended by an assassin's bullet before some of his greatest goals were realized.

While there, Armstrong started playing the cornet in the home's brass band. After about 18 months, Armstrong was released, and he started playing at clubs with his mentor Joe "King" Oliver, one of the first jazz musicians.
