Hey, I love you show. The history of Bakersfield is so interesting that a lot of people seems I forgot about it and I’m also trying to work on something Black people who lived in Bakersfield doing that time. I was going through a lot of problems where they can stay in the job opportunity, so that created another way of life so now you have the street hustlers of Bakersfield who copied everything Los Angeles was doing in the crime Narrative of that time Bakersfield created a lot of hustlers who went onto other places and prosper in the field, but of course the incomes and is either dead or jail but these black peoples that’s been lost Marvin Johnson, and a host of Mor, but I enjoyed your show. Hopefully you can get in depth with people I can relate to thank you.
