The legend of Olympic runner Jesse Owens is now firmly set in the firmament of the American imagination — the Black athlete endured racism when it was still a part of polite mainstream society, going on to set world records and gold medals, in front of none other than Adolf Hitler in Germany. However, Owens' story is much more nuanced than a simple highlight reel could ever communicate. We'll cover the man's entire story, from his difficult and poverty-stricken childhood to his work in entertainment after his career in athletics had run its course. Owens was a remarkable person, no matter how you slice it. This is the crazy real-life story of Jesse Owens.
