Jonathan Reed

Jonathan Reed was Davey Hansen's close friend in the Lutheran stop action animation cartoon Davey and Goliath.

As an African-American he was perhaps the first African-American character to appear in a television cartoon, and one of the first African-American characters to appear as a friend of a television show's (white) lead character.[1]

His father was a pharmacist. Jonathan's race only became an issue in the episode, Different.[2][3] His character was voiced by Hal Smith. [4]
