NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz at Lin

anniversary of Louis Armstrong’s
birth, taking advantage of the
doubts over just when that is. Arm

July 4 and said he was born in
1900. But some scholars said he
was born Aug. 4. 1901.
So starting on the Fourth of July
this year. Jazz at Lincoln Center will
honor three aspects of Satchmo’s ca

virtuoso trumpet playing, his under

and his role as an international am-

After finishing high school in California,
Sean Whitten joined AmeriCorps to do
something different and to learn more
about himself. He built houses,
taught kids—and even saved a life.
While on assignment in the Smoky Mountains,
Sean rescued a hiker who had been lost for four days in below-
freezing weather. “Through AmeriCorps, I learned it’s impossibl®
to help others without realizing the impact it makes on you."
