A graduate of Thomas More Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia
and Cheyney State Teachers College (now Cheyney University), Ed Bradley
was teaching sixth grade in the Philadelphia public school system when
he accepted a dare to report the news on a local radio station; he fell
in love with it and continued doing the news for free until his
coverage of a local race riot brought him to the attention of the local
major news outlet, and from then on his career was launched. A stalwart
of the CBS news program
60 Minutes (1968) for more than a
quarter-century, Bradley was best known for his thoughtful and
perceptive news reporting and interviewing. He died on November 9,
2006, in New York City of leukemia.
