Amos N' Andy
An effort is being made to drive
Amos and Andy from ihe air. This
writer has listened to only two Amos

were over radios belonging to others.

To be logical 'and consistent, if weare

must be opposed to "Brown Buddies".
When the Courier dears up the issues
involved it is not-altogether im?
"proba.ble that we too shall cTinib on

to see further?just how much the
Courier is o-oing to include in its crusade.
This writer must confess that
although he has never relished the
AmOs and Andy gag, his tiindamental
objection has been to men of
other races playing black men when
we had plentv of black men not only
to play the?ptrrt?but?be the part!
