Baseball legend and Civil Rights icon Hank Aaron died Friday at age 86. Aaron rose to the top of baseball while facing systemic and extreme racism that included hate mail and death threats. He described the effects of this hatred on his family and his heart:
“It really made me see for the first time a clear picture of what this country is about. My kids had to live like they were in prison because of kidnap threats, and I had to live like a pig in a slaughter camp. I had to duck. I had to go out the back door of the ball parks. I had to have a police escort with me all the time. I was getting threatening letters every single day. All of these things have put a bad taste in my mouth, and it won’t go away. They carved a piece of my heart away.” NYT interview.
Aaron saved many of those letters and even the death threats:
“To remind myself that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record. If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.” USA Today interview.
But such hatred didn’t stop him. He seized the opportunity for greatness and advancement on the field and beyond (from here):
