Annotation:  Peter Goldenbock tells the story of Hank Aaron and his success rising up against adversity.  The story confronts the racial prejudice Hank Aaron, an African American professional ballplayer, experienced on the way to breaking the longstanding home-run record of Babe Ruth.  Paul Lee’s realistic oil paintings capture the grace and strength of Hank Aaron’s personality, as well as athleticism.
