June 28, 1951 –
A TV version of the popular radio program Amos ‘N’ Andy aired on CBS on this date.
Although criticized for racial stereotyping, it was the first network TV series to feature an all-black cast. I’m ambivalent about embedded the episode, but but most people have never even seen a clip of the show.
If you have the time, watch the documentary posted above so you can understand what the show and the controversy is about.
