It comes back to Aaron, Stewart believes, because he refused to turn his back to his people. “Hank Aaron was not a caricature. He was a called man that lived his life based on character. He wasn’t a shucking and jiving, bourgeois Black person disconnected from the oppression of Black people. He came from a humble beginning, but from what I saw and heard of him, he was able to easily connect with people that were being oppressed.”

Several guests join “Closer Look” to reflect on Aaron’s life and legacy. Rose talks with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, CJ Stewart, a former Chicago Cubs outfielder, Atlanta Technical College Dr. Victoria Seals and Doug Shipman, a Kingian Nonviolence scholar, the founding CEO of The National Center for Civil and Human Rights.

“Hank Aaron, he was a part of the Braves coming from Milwaukee to Atlanta to prove that we were a city too busy to hate,” said Atlanta native C.J. Stewart, who once played in the Chicago Cubs organization. He says Aaron was not only a transformative figure in the city’s history but was also a mentor.
“We can hold our heads up high, Black men, Black boys, Black people that love this game of baseball, know that he was a man that used this game to do a lot of amazing things,” said Stewart.
