As a proficient and instinctual attorney,
Cochran dispelled the stereotypical myth of the incompetent black lawyer
portrayed on television's Amos and Andy, says Montgomery. " Narrator Sooky, age twelve, tells
about a summer in 1948 when "all us colored lived in Cold
Spring," listening to Amos and Andy on the radio, marveling at
Satchel Paige's exploits, and recovering from the trauma of the
war. He wishes,
for example, that all blacks could be like Amos and Andy, "[n]ot
