Jesse Owens was born in Alabama and, aged 9, the family moved to the Cleveland. His early life was marked by poverty, and he was forced to take many menial jobs such as delivering goods and working in a shoe repair shops. However, he was able to develop his passion for running and athletics; from an early age, he was identified as having great potential talent. In later life, he gave much credit to Charles Riley, his high school coach who encouraged him and made allowances for his difficulty in making evening training sessions because Jesse had to work in a shoe repair shop. Jesse Owens rose to national prominence in 1933, when he equalled the world record (9.4 seconds) for the 100-yard dash. In the 1930s, America was a highly segregated society, and when travelling with the team, Jesse had to suffer the indignities of eating at separate restaurants and staying in different hotels. His most famous moment came in the 1936 in the German Olympics when he won four gold medals — much to the annoyance of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party, who hoped the Olympics would be a showcase to Aryan Supremacy, so to say, only his men would win all medals. In his later life, Jesse Owens became a goodwill ambassador for America and athletics. Hitler gave medals to German athletes on the first day, but, after Owen’s victories, decided not to give any more medals.
