The Emory University community was saddened to learn of the passing of Atlanta Braves baseball legend Henry Louis Hank Aaron Jr., an American hero who has been an inspiration to generations, a voice for civil and human rights, and a friend to the Emory community over many years.
Aaron, who broke Babe Ruth’s home run record in 1974, was the recipient of an honorary doctor of laws degree at Emory’s Commencement in 1995. The presentation praised Aaron as both a “home run king” and a “diligent citizen”: “Through perseverance and fortitude, you showed good fences make good targets,” the presentation continued, noting how his “career in baseball and since reminds us that, however simple the games of our youth, our collective history has no simple eras.”
