Ed Bradley- An Appreciation

How can one describe the illustrious Ed Bradley? Sure, he had many firsts- the first African-American White House Correspondent for a major broadcast network, among other things. But there is no one word anyone can describe the man colleagues called " Mr. Cool". There is no one label you can put on the man who began his broadcasting career as a part time DJ in Philadelphia (he moonlighted as a DJ while teaching sixth grade). The man raised in a tough Philadelphia neighborhood, who went on to greater heights as a reporter, and for 26 years, a correspondent to TV's longest running magazine series has been lost today to leukemia.
