Hank Aaron was scheduled to receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at Tulane’s 2020 ceremony, but that commencement was postponed due to COVID-19. At this year’s ceremony, television host and nonprofit executive Billye Aaron will accept the honorary degree on behalf of the late Aaron. Billye Aaron, who was married to the baseball great for 48 years, became the first Black woman in the southeast to co-host a daily, hour-long television talk show. She was also a leader in numerous organizations, including the UNCF and the NAACP, where she is director emeritus of its Legal Defense Fund.
