Jubilee was a radio program on the Armed Forces Radio Service intended for African-American soldiers during the Second World War and the Korean War; the program ran until 1953. The photos below are from a broadcast in either 1944 or 1945; the photos are dated a year apart although it is clearly the same session. I have been unable to find any audio recordings of it.
