HBCU leaders hope Biden, Harris will continue support of minority students

He said there is a very small window for the new administration to become serious about whether they are going to get things accomplished or use excuses. Biden is already grappling with what to do about the country s more than $27 trillion in student loan debt. Not only does the president plan to continue the pause on federal student loan payments amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but Biden officials told USA Today recently they would encourage Congress to pass legislation to erase $10,000 in federal student loan debt per person. That move, however, is likely to draw criticism from activists who have pushed Biden to forgive more debt per person, in some cases up to $50,000, via executive action upon taking office.

What Hank Aaron Told Me

The Atlantic What Hank Aaron Told Me When I spoke with my boyhood hero 25 years after his famous home run, I learned why he’d kept going through the death threats and the hate. January 25, 2021 AP One morning in Milwaukee in 1972, I read in the sports pages that my hero, Henry Aaron, was getting hate mail and death threats simply for following his dream. Hank, the superstar outfielder for the Atlanta Braves, was approaching what was then considered the greatest record in sports: the career home-run record of 714, held by the legendary Babe Ruth. During his chase of the Babe, Hank received 929,000 letters at an ounce a piece, 29 tons of mail. Some of it cheered Hank on, but much of it was filled with racist hate and violent threats.

Hank Aaron dies at 86 He broke Babe Ruth s home run record

At what should have been the pinnacle of his long career in baseball, Henry Aaron was getting bags of hate mail many containing death threats and living in a storage room at the stadium, accompanied by bodyguards when he ventured out. It was 1973, the country remained divided along racial lines, and Aaron, a Black player for the Atlanta Braves, was closing in on Babe Ruth’s holy career record of 714 home runs. To some, it was sacrilegious that a Black man would threaten the record of the immortal Babe. Aaron eventually tied, then surpassed Ruth’s record, finishing his remarkable 23-year career with 755 homers. Even at that, he felt shortchanged.
