The "Sage from South Central" is a New York Times best-selling author, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and one of the best-known media figures in America today. His flagship daily radio program, "The Larry Elder Show," was heard every weekday in all 50 states and on more than 300 stations. Larry was voted one of the "The Top 25 Most Influential Talk-Radio Hosts" by NewsMax magazine in 2008. He also won a Los Angeles area Emmy.

Larry was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, and his family's story represents every bit of the American Dream. His father was born in Athens, Georgia, served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, and moved to California to open his own restaurant—Elder's Snack Bar. Larry's mother, originally from Huntsville, Alabama, was a clerical worker for the U.S. Department of War (now the U.S. Department of Defense) and raised three boys as a stay-at-home mom. Larry ultimately received a bachelor's degree from Brown University and his law degree from the University of Michigan.

After running for Governor of California in 2021 and securing millions of votes, Larry announced his presidency for U.S. President. He's also produced the documentaries "Uncle Tom" and "Uncle Tom II".  Some of his books include "Dear Father, Dear Son", "The Ten Things You Can't Say in America", "A Lot Like Me: A Father and Son's Journey to Reconcilliation", and "As Goes California".
