    I love the Carl Nelson show, been listening since the 90’s. His show has introduced me to a multitude of professors, revolutionaries, authors and intellects, who all look like me😊I get a different perspective than the watered down mainstream media, and I get to listen to the pulse of our community! Keep this going during this trump era, and we can all find some humanity🖤❤️
