IMS: Hank Aaron, Home Run King, National Press Club
Hank Aaron, Home Run King
Hank Aaron, the Home Run King, speaks about the dismal record
of the major leagues in promoting minorities into management.
Aaron speaks eloquently about the history of race in America's
national pasttime and argues that this game has symbolic importance
in America and that it is time, 47 years after Jackie Robinson first
broke the color barrier, for baseball to live up to its responsibilities
to society.
The National Press Luncheons are brought to you by the sponsors of the
Internet Multicasting Service
under an agreement with the
National Press Club
Board of Governors.
