Milwaukee Brewers Celebrate Hank Aaron's Legacy; 755th Home Run in 1976
The mural honors Aaron’s 755th and final home run and his lasting impact on baseball and civil rights, the Brewers said.
On Monday, July 20, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers unveiled a commemorative mural honoring Henry 'Hank' Aaron at the Clinton Rose Senior Center in Milwaukee, featuring a program, ribbon cutting, and photo opportunity.
The event marked the 50th anniversary of Aaron's historic 755th and final home run, achieved in Milwaukee on July 20, 1976, establishing him as baseball's all-time home run king.
Artist Rosy Petri created the mural, installed by Gerald 'Moolah Bred' Williamson Jr. A news release says it celebrates Aaron's historic achievement while reflecting his perseverance, excellence, and lasting influence.
The ceremony gathered Milwaukee Brewers representatives, community leaders, and special guests to recognize Aaron's profound impact on baseball, Milwaukee, and generations of fans.
Beyond his athletic accomplishments, Aaron—who died at age 86—was a dedicated civil rights activist whose legacy extends well beyond the diamond and continues influencing the community.
