"The walk of fame, Hollywoods tribute to the greats of show business, cast in brass and set in concrete. Here they are for all time, Bing Crosby, he's here, Walt Disney, yep, Charlie Chaplin, a late arrival. We also have the pioneers of radio and television. Burns and Allen, Lucy and Desi, and a star for each of the creators of the radio classic, Amos and Andy, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, and that's good, they should be there. Now what about the black cast of the TV series, wheres the star for Tim Moore, Spencer Williams Jr., Ernistine Wade, Alvin Childress, sorry there simply not here. Come to think of it Hollywood has always fallen short when it comes to honoring black artists. A generation of Americans have never heard of Amos and Andy. Why is this show no longer on the air, why is any show more than 30 years old still considered to hot to handle. Why can't we see it". |
