Almost 100 years later, Jesse Owens's four-gold medal performance at the 1936 Olympics still garners widespread attention. The socio-political context of the 1936 Games in Nazi Germany has led to competing narratives about the meaning of Jesse Owens's accomplishments. This lecture aims to explore the complex and often conflicting narratives told about Owens, the 1936 Olympics, and U.S. race relations.
