Jubilee (radio program)
Jubilee is an AFRS radio program that featured African American musicians and singers. It was broadcast to servicemen via AFRS from 1942 to 1953.[1]
Jubilee was conceived at least in part as a morale-building service for African American troops stationed overseas. The wartime host was Ernie "Bubbles" Whitman.[1]
Most of the shows were recorded before live audiences in
union-mandated recording bans of 1942-43 and 1947–48 and many of the shows contain unique performances.[1]
