Jesse Owens:
James Cleveland "JC" Owens
"The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that's where it's at."
James Cleveland "JC" Owens
At high school, he either equalled or beat national high school records at 100 yards, 220 yards and the long jump. After graduation, many colleges tried to recruit Jesse and he chose to attend Ohio State University. Segregation was a fact of college life, and black athletes were not allowed to live on campus with the white students. They also had to eat in "blacks only" restaurants when traveling on the road with the team and could only stay in "blacks only" hotels.
Two weeks before the 1935 Big Ten Championships in Ann Arbor, Jesse slipped and injured his tailbone as he fell down a flight of stairs. It was doubtful right up to the start of the meeting as to whether he would be able to compete. However, as he settled into his crouch for the start of the 100 yards dash, the pain "miraculously disappeared" and astonishingly he tied the world record of 9.4 seconds. Ten minutes later, he set a new long jump world record of 26 feet 8 and a quarter inches, this record would last for 25 years. A further nine minutes later, he set a new world record in the 220 yard dash of 20.3 seconds. Finally, 26 minutes later he became the first person to break 23 seconds for the 220 yard low hurdles, setting a new world record of 22.6 seconds. In the space of just 45 minutes, Owens had set 3 world records and equalled another.
"When I came back to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus, I had to go to the back door. I couldn't live where I wanted. I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President, either."
