Presenter: Terence Moore, author of The Real Hank Aaron
Terence Moore went from a 12-year-old Hank Aaron fan who even bought a poster of him back in 1968 to an honorary pallbearer at his funeral in January 2021. Courtesy of their 40-year friendship, Mr. Moore knew Hank better than any reporter in history. As a result, a few months before his death, Mr. Aaron encouraged Mr. Moore to write this book that is 95 percent fresh information on the life and philosophies of baseball's greatest player.
Speaker Biography:
Terence Moore lives in Smyrna, where he is a national sports columnist for Forbes.com and the weekly contributor to WSB-TV's Sports Zone Sunday. Mr. Moore observed, "In so many ways, I'm the Jackie Robinson of African American sports journalists after 45 years working for major media outlets. I was the first Black sportswriter in the history of both the Cincinnati Enquirer and the San Francisco Examiner. I also was the first Black sports columnist in the history of the Deep South when I spent 25 years in that role at the Atlanta Journal Constitution."
