The Stars of Amos 'n Andy.
Sencer Williams Jr. and Tim Moore and Alvin Childress.
A huge hit for two years that made them famous. Then some idiot said it was racist and got it canceled. Now it is on YOUTUBE and DVD and we can laugh again and love the show. I was raised in the projects and my African American neighbors bought tv's to watch that show.

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living. For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations. I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it. In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.
My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
