MEMORANDUM

Posted:	September 3, 2014 08:46 AM
From:	Senator Vincent J. Hughes
To:	All Senate members
Subject:	Co-sponsorship: Highway designation for Ed Bradley

In the near future, I will introduce legislation that would name a portion of City Line Avenue for Ed Bradley. Ed Bradley was born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and graduated from Saint Thomas More Catholic Boys High School in West Philadelphia and Cheyney University with a degree in education. His first job was teaching sixth grade at the William B. Mann Elementary School in Philadelphia. Ed Bradley started reporting the news at WDAS-FM in Philadelphia. In 1976 Ed Bradley became the first African-American White House television correspondent for CBS News. Ed Bradley is best known for his work on 60 Minutes, for which he did over 500 stories over 26 years. Ed Bradley also hosted the Peabody award winning program “Jazz at Lincoln Center” on National Public Radio for over ten years up until his death in 2006. If you have any questions about this legislation please contact my office at 7-7112 or email Charles Duncan of my office at cduncan@pasenate.com.
