As a proud Georgian & American, I celebrate the life and mourn the passing of Hank Aaron - a sports icon who broke records on the field, while also breaking barriers in the field of civil rights and human relations.

While the world knew him as ‘Hammering Hank Aaron’ because of his incredible, record-setting baseball career, he was a cornerstone of our village, graciously and freely joining Mrs. Aaron in giving their presence and resources toward making our city a better place. pic.twitter.com/hO7nkIYvVD

"Failure is a part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it." Hank Aaron. RIP Hank Aaron. God Bless. pic.twitter.com/39W9ZMqMQf

Rest In Peace to a true soldier and Icon for justice. He used his baseball platform to break barriers. They pushed him, called him names, and all he did was break the home run record with dignity, grace and style. Thank you #HankAaron #BlackHistory #BlackPower #BlackLove❤️🌹 pic.twitter.com/Q0pLV26PE1

#HankAaron was as decent, kind and inspirational a human being as ever walked this earth. Leading up to breaking Ruth’s record, he received roughly 3,000 pieces of hate mail a day... 3,000! BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN!#America

Another King from Atlanta. My favorite player. We share the same name, Henry. Thank God I got to know him doing charity work. I remember watching #715.
