Jesse Owens Poster.


✨ Perfect for framing

Jesse Owens, arguably the most popular American track and field star in history, was -- along with his contemporary, world's heavyweight champion Joe Louis -- one of the first African Americans to change white society's perception of both black athletes and, more importantly, people of color.

The future Olympic champion was born James Cleveland Owens on September 12, 1913 in Oakville, Alabama, the youngest of 10 children.

✨ Jesse Owens Trivia

★ Won 4 gold medals in Track & Field (100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4 × 100 meter relay) at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.

Inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, 1983

The runner he beat in the 200-meter dash at the 1936 Summer Olympics was Jackie Robinson's brother, Matthew "Mack" Robinson, who also beat the world record at the time while taking the silver medal.

Jesse Owens carried a photograph of Adolf Hitler shaking hands with him at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in his wallet. It is unknown if the photograph still exists.

✨ Jesse Owens Quotes:

[When asked about how he felt years after Adolf Hitler refused to shake his hand at the Olympics] "I'm here. He's not."

"A lifetime of training for just ten seconds."

"Although I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either."
