Thursday night in The Fred Bertelsen Old-Time-Radio Room

Our Host for this week is Joy Jackson. Let us read what she will be playing for us.

Did you know there were other radio shows in which African Americans were portrayed as someone other than a valet, like Rochester in Jack Benny or a maid like Birdie in the Great Gildersleeve? Although both of those characters were firmly in charge of their situations. In honor of Martin Luther King, whose day we celebrated this month, Joy will share a couple of shows based on American history that will really surprise you. And she will share a special story. Come have a listen.
