Calvin and the Colonel
From the Wikipedia entry:
"The series was an animated remake of Amos 'n' Andy... and featured the voices of Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll[1] from the radio series (in fact, several of the original radio scripts by Joe Connelly & Bob Mosher were adapted for this series). Using animals avoided the touchy racial issues which had led to the downfall of Amos 'n' Andy."

Here's a scenario I had been unaware of, which is particularly timely today, in light of many controversies, sharing many parallels.A factual account of the possible historical turning point is appended below.
Someone did fictionalize it, and you can read the first 58 pages here.

Stayin Alive aka Fight For Your Life
Surely the re-release of this fine film would help clarify and resolve the fraught state of race relations in the USA today.

THE HOUSE I LIVE IN
Ol' Blue Eyes fights prejudice with a smile and a song. Where's Frankie and his good-natured common sense when we need him today?
