| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome. I am Karen Hunter and the people I speak with are the awesome |
| 0:12.4 | ones. Well, sometimes the conversations get so heated or amazing that we have to do a part |
| 0:18.4 | two. So stay tuned for the next part of my conversation. |
| 0:22.4 | Oh my gosh, Michelin Davis. This is so scary. I think about my grandparents, |
| 0:29.4 | both on my mother and father's side, didn't have a whole lot of medical help growing up. |
| 0:35.7 | They were in the era where hospitals were, you know, segregated. |
| 0:39.3 | You know, there was like so much. You think about all some celebrities that died because |

| 1:49.0 | We know how to do it because we have the letter from the Birmingham jail. |
| 1:52.0 | I'm not trying to be funny. I'm not. |
