Here are some excerpts from the popular Amos ‘n’ Andy radio show from the 1920s and 30s. The show would be a fixture on the radio, in one form or another, for nearly thirty-five years. Starring on the show were two white actors—Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden—who played the roles of two African Americans who owned the Fresh Air Taxi Company. Correll and Gosden wrote all the scripts themselves and furnished the voices for the title characters and the members of their fraternal lodge, the Mystic Knights of the Sea.
In this excerpt, Amos and Andy talk about the 1929 presidential election.
