Carl was always a very popular presenter on PCRL, over his nine years at the station he presented 'Talk Back' for a while in the early 90's, he took gospel music to new heights in the mid 90's and then finally turned to presenting dance music. Cecil (the station founder) recalls that he was a little sad that CJ stopped doing interactive programming because he had a natural talent for communicating with the listeners. The West Midlands police loved to 'Stop & Search' C.J. for 11 years he's been singled out by them to be harassed for no other reason that he's 'black' and they know he'll come quitely. It finally came to a head when he took the chief of police to court over unfair harasment. In all the times he's been stopped, not once was there a good reason given. We have many press cuttings to show his case and will be publishing them soon. (click <- over other side) |
