Hank Aaron Endorses Reed For Mayor

ATLANTA (AP) -- Baseball legend Hank Aaron is among the latest
members of the chorus of Georgians singing Kasim Reed's praises for mayor of Atlanta.

Former mayor Andrew Young, who was among the first to endorse Reed, corralled Aaron and more than a dozen others, including current Mayor Shirley Franklin, state lawmakers, residents and even the ex-state senator's former teachers in a 6-minute video to be featured on Young's Facebook page.

Reed is facing city councilwoman Mary Norwood in a runoff
election on Dec. 1 and political observers largely expect voters to cast their ballot along racial lines. If elected, Norwood would
become the city's first white mayor since 1973.

The video was made on Reed's behalf, but independently of his
campaign.
