What so important about Louis Armstrong?
Not to belittle a well-known artist, because many, many people loved him and his music. But to be honest with you and to pointedly answer your question - I really don't know. Same answer if you asked about Marsalis.
Now, if you consider Richard Monreal in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 17 he was playing the trumpet like it was nobody's business. Talk about Andrew Sanchez who play the jazz solo at the Texas Regional Jazz Competition - made it smoke! And who doesn't know Charlie McBride and Arturo Gonzales (Sauce) in San Antonio? Trumpeter and organist, respectively. Now, these folks were special.

Louis Armstrong grew up in an era when Blacks were regarded as clearly inferior by many people, by most people in some parts of the country. This was simply accepted and unquestioned. The fact that a Black man with no education, could arise from the poverty into which he was born, from the lack of access to education, to be an undeniable genius, constituted a clear refutation of the idea that his race was inferior.
Another such person was George Washington Carver. There were others, as well. They refuted the idea of racism simply by being what they were, and no one could argue against that. The Civil Rights Movement was necessary, to make the laws of the land compatible with facts that were already obvious to any person capable of thought.
