For over 60 years, he self-published a newspaper serving the black community of Rochester. He was also Rochester's first black broadcaster - a career that lasted nearly 40 years. And his weekly feature - 5 Minutes With Howard Coles - aired on WHAM in the 60s and 70s. Former TV meteorologist Richard McCollough and Howard's daughter, Joan Coles Howard, tell us about the journalist and broadcaster who broke color barriers and documented the history of the black community in Rochester.
