Let’s Take a Moment to Appreciate Late ’60 Minutes’ Newsman Ed Bradley’s Excellent Style

60 Minutes

, when Bradley would report on topics ranging from foreign policy to culinary trends. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized he was a true history maker as the first Black White House television correspondent. On a recent day of falling down the rabbit holes that are Google and YouTube, I found myself once again enraptured by his elegant yet humble way of reporting and interviewing.

In my sophomore year of college, I had my ear pierced with a very subtle stud. Subconsciously, it was probably my mind harkening back to Bradley’s inconspicuous yet statement-making accessory. Bradley was adept at such subtle statements, like opting for band-collared shirts or dressing in head-to-toe monochrome—slight shifts that buck the broadcaster norm but are still masculine and elegant.

While Bradley’s days of reporting ended with his untimely passing from leukemia in 2006, there’s always YouTube for remembering the late journalist’s style and flair . Well before today’s more expansive image of what it means to be a man embracing fashion, Bradley set an example for men, especially Black men, to dress outside of the box. It’s a message that’s as inspirational now as it was some three decades ago when he first stepped on the air with that earring.
