Ed Bradley, best known for his work on CBS' 60 Minutes, died on November 09, 2006 of Leukemia at the age of 65. A consummate professional, Bradley was a trailblazer in the field of journalism, characterized by his engaging personality, investigative approach, and of course, his earring. For decades, Bradley was a notable and prominent African-American journalist who served as an inspiration to many, including myself.During the course of his career, Bradley won a number of awards, including 19 Emmy awards (Lifetime Achievement Emmy in 2003), a Peabody award, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism award, and a Lifetime Achievement award from the National Association of Black Journalists. Bradley covered many controversial, influential, and historic events worldwide, ranging from the Vietnam War to the Columbine shooting.
He will truly be missed.
