Amos 'n' Andy Radio Program Scripts 1928-1937
Amos 'n' Andy (Radio Program)
Scope and Content Note The scripts of the Amos ‘n Andy radio program consist of scripts submitted to the Library of Congress Copyright Office between 1928 and 1937 and organized and filmed chronologically by date of broadcast. The first radio program to be distributed by syndication in the United States, Amos ‘n’ Andy originated from station WMAQ in Chicago in 1928. It was written and voiced by white actors Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll performing minstrel-style as African-American characters located first in Chicago and later in Harlem. The program ran on the NBC Blue Network as a nightly serial beginning in 1929 and was soon distributed nationally to a large and expanding audience around the country.
