  • Summary

  • During the great depression of the 1930's, CBS Radio cooperated with the federal government to create the series Americans All, Immigrants All, to combat the rising tide of racism, and anti-antisemitism sweeping the nation at the time. Americans All highlighted the many hardships minorities suffered, and the numerous contributions they had made to society. It provided a counter balance to the views of popular radio preacher Father Charles Coughlin, a white nationalist, who promoted anti-minority conspiracy theories, and is considered to be the Rush Limbaugh of broadcasting's golden age. Coughlin also supported some of the fascist policies of Nazi Germany. So in 1938, the Americans All, Immigrants all series took to the airwaves for 26 weeks, promoting equality and inclusion. You will hear three episodes, the first highlighting African-Americans, the second featuring Hispanics, and the third focusing on Asian-Americans.
