Sellers became Boyle's mentor in her quest to support school integration in Charlottesville, and Boyle discusses Sellers's personality, words, and actions in depth in her memoir, "The Desegregated Heart". In 1953, the family moved to New York, where Sellers worked as managing editor of "Amsterdam News" until 1956. In New York, he attended New York University where he received his B.A in the early 1950s. He also entered NYU's graduate program in Supervision and Administration. In the 1960s he taught at P.S.175, where the curriculum included African American history, which was not common at the time. He continued teaching into the 1970s and then worked in education administration in the northeast Bronx, serving as a special assistant to a Community School District Superintendent and Director of Education Information Services and Public Relations. In 1974, he was the speaker for the Charlottesville branch of the N.A.A.C.P.'s presentation on "U.S. Supreme Court School Desegregation Decision - Twenty Years After". He was a member of the Education Writers Association and the National School Public Relations Association. The only known surviving copies of "The Reflector" and "The Charlottesville Tribune" are housed at the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia, where the first issue of "The Dawn" may also be found.
