I wonder if his partner, Abigail Washburn, will be performing with him at the Paramount. She’s one of my favorites.

Indeed. Not a pretty story, but a very important one to know and share.

I don’t belive I’ve seen those photos but would love to see them. I remember seeing many death certificates of people from Cville who died st Central State.

Yes! From the article—“Among the historic images is a photo of Louis Armstrong on campus, and Davis says that other celebrities who visited the site include Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald. It’s not the stars who stand out, however, it’s the faces of the patients, so many unknown and unhonored.”

He was a wonderful, brave human being and he gave so much to this community. He will be missed. I like to think that he has been reunited now with his beloved Lorraine.
