Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Amos & Andy Show "Andy The Bodyguard" (03-15-52)


Andy The Bodyguard (Aired March 15, 1952)


The Amos and Andy Show - No other TV or radio show has ever equaled its hold on the American public," wrote Yale civil rights professor Melvin Patrick Ely."They depicted Afro-American life while minimizing references to race." The radio audience, white and black, tuned in each night to listen to the adventures of characters they all cared about. Amos 'n' Andy had"all the pathos, humor, vanity, glory , problems and solutions that beset ordinary mortals and therein lies its universal appeal," explained journalist Roy Wilkins in 1931.
