	"Amos 'n' Andy In Person"
		Amos stood as an "Everyman" figure: a sympathetic, occasionally heroic individual who combined practical intelligence and a gritty determination to succeed with deep compassion -- along with a caustic sense of humor and a tendency to repress his anger until it suddenly exploded.
		Andy invariably claimed the executive titles, while Amos shouldered the majority of the work -- until Amos's temper finally blazed and Andy was forced to carry his share of the load.
		The television version of The Amos 'n' Andy Show was dogged by controversy, as CBS took the characters even further down the path of broad comedy, culminating in a formal protest of the TV series by the NAACP in 1951.

	Some History of Amos 'n' Andy
		The characterizations of Amos and Andy as heard on the Victor records are often inconsistent with the characterizations presented in the actual broadcasts.
		Amos was a genuinely beloved figure for radio listeners in the early thirties -- he was in a lot of ways the symbol of everything they themselves wanted to be: decent, honest, motivated to succeed, and even sometimes heroic.
		Amos, by contrast, always had a healthy sense of skepticism whenever Andy started with the big talk, and while he always tried to give people the benefit of the doubt, he had long since come to realize that there were people in the world you couldn't and shouldn't trust.
