Project Grant MN30412225

The Louis Armstrong House Museum received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs grant program (CFDA 45.164) on February 1, 2025. The grant will support the development of "The Bridge - Mapping Jazz and Hip-Hop in Queens," an interactive website that explores the interconnected histories and evolutions of jazz and hip-hop music, with a focus on the distinct role played by the borough of Queens in the development of these genres. The project will create digital content and programming to engage the public in understanding the cultural, historical, and social connections between these two significant American musical forms.
