I always tell the story how I've been in the newsroom since the third grade learning my craft. Well, this is the man who was responsible for that. He brought me in and allowed me to grow as a reporter from the time I was 8 years old. I don't know what it was that made him humor this elementary school kid who said he wanted to be a reporter. But he did and I'm so thankful to Carlton Cremeens for helping me become the journalist I am today. Carlton, you will truly be missed my teacher and friend. Take a watch:
I knew about Carlton and all I can say is that he was a huge BIGOT!
ReplyDeleteSmoking, I will allow you to make your assessment because freedom of speech is golden. But I disagree and so do others:
ReplyDeleteFrom The Advocate - While in Baton Rouge, Cremeens was known for breaking cultural barriers in TV news. As The Advocate points out, he put Baton Rouge’s first black TV reporter–Ansel Creary–and first female anchor–Mel Cafiero–on the air.
Isiah...I have big respect for you. But I have to say your wrong. And thats all I will say.
ReplyDeleteSmoking is a fool. It take real courage to login and libel a dead man. Isiah managed to counter your baseless claim with actual facts.
ReplyDeleteThank u Isiah for honoring my grandfather by the man he truly is! May God bless.
ReplyDeleteThank u Isiah and your tribute to my grandfather! He was truly an amazing man. And to smoking, you "knew about" my grandfather but did you "know" him? Also, if you "knew" so much, you would check your grammar.
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings,
