How Louis Armstrong Became The First Black Pop Star
Terry Gross

He loaded coal and kind of ran the junkyard truck or wagon for the Karnovsky family, a Jewish family in New Orleans. And on the one hand, it was child labor. And, you know, like the loading and unloading of the coal that he delivered almost like broke his back, literally.
