Amos 'n' Andy

"Amos 'n' Andy" was a popular American radio and television series that debuted in the 1920s, featuring two African American characters—Amos Jones and Andrew H. "Andy" Brown—who were portrayed by white actors in blackface during its early years. The show depicted humorous situations in urban settings, often focusing on their adventures and misadventures. While it was widely enjoyed by audiences, it has also been criticized for perpetuating racial stereotypes and for its use of racial caricatures. The series reflects the complex history of entertainment's representation of race in America.
