Black Heritage Month


Ulice Payne

Payne is noteworthy for his achievements in both the sports and business worlds. A member of Marquette University’s 1977 NCAA basketball championship team, he earned a law degree from the university and went on to be a managing partner of Milwaukee law firm Foley & Lardner before becoming president of trade advisory firm Addison-Clifton. Payne is probably best known as the “Jackie Robinson of the front office”: In 2002, he became the first Black president of a Major League Baseball franchise when he was chosen to lead the Milwaukee Brewers.
