Amos 'n' Andy
On January 12th in 1926, "Sam 'n' Henry" debuted on Chicago's WGN radio. When they moved to WMAQ two years later the show was renamed "Amos 'n' Andy" and the voices of its creators, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll played to huge depression-era audiences via NBC radio. Although the players were white, the characters were supposed to be black. The popular radio show would attract over forty million fans during its radio tenure which ended in 1948. (Gosden and Correll returned to radio with the "Amos 'n' Andy Music Hall" on CBS radio [1954-1960]).
