Amos 'N' Andy To Be Shown At Black Film Fest

3 August 2001 | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news

Although CBS withdrew the 1951-'53 series Amos 'n' Andy from its syndicated offerings in 1964 following protests by the NAACP that it stereotyped blacks, ten uncut episodes of the series are scheduled to be presented at The Black Film Festival, which opens in New York today (Friday). Festival coordinator Gregory Javan Mills told today's (Friday) New York Daily News: "People like Redd Foxx have talked about how they were important in the history of comedy." (Numerous black actors worked in front of the cameras and several black vaudevillians worked as writers on the series.) The episodes are set to be screened on Aug. 18.
