Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·James “Jesse” Cleveland Owens was born on September 12, 1913, in Danville, Alabama. He was the son of a sharecropper and the grandchild of slaves. 

·After moving to Cleveland at the age of 9, Owens ran his first race at age 13. While at East Technical High School, he “became a nationally known sprinter.” 

·Owens attended Ohio State University where he would break multiple world records in track and field. 

·The United States Olympic track team had 10 black athletes including Owens. The Nazis “derided the Americans for relying on what the Nazis called an inferior race.” 

·On August 3, 1936, Owens won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.3 seconds (matching the world record). 

·On August 4, 1936, Owens won the gold medal in the long jump with a distance of 26 feet and 5 3/8 inches (breaking the world record). 

·On August 5, 1936, Owens won the gold medal in the 200-meter dash with a time of 20.7 seconds (breaking the world record). 

·On August 9, 1936, Owens was a part of the team that won the gold medal in the 4 X 100-meter relay. 

·Originally, Owens was not scheduled to participate in the 4 X 100-meter relay. But before the race, American Olympic officials decided to remove two Jewish athletes from the team to “avoid offending the Nazis.” Owens and Ralph Metcalfe, who were both black, were substituted instead. Hitler did not congratulate any of the American black winners. Owens would later say “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway. All I know is that I'm here now, and Hitler isn't.” 

·Owens died on March 31, 1980. In the New York Times obituary, Owens was called “perhaps the greatest and most famous athlete in track and field history.”
