Ali's 65 (2007)

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.

Quotes
My left ear has been pierced for about 10 years now. It was a bit radical at the time, and I heard about it from the network guys: 'Are you going to wear an earring on the air? What does that say? What does it mean?' To me, it just meant that I had a hole in my ear and an earring in it. It wasn't a statement.
