Jesse Owens Shattered Hitler's Myth | Salt Lake City News
Description
In 1936, Jesse Owens shattered Hitler’s myth of Aryan supremacy by winning four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics — including the 100m, long jump, 200m, and anchoring the relay — turning athletic dominance into a global protest against racism. His record-shattering feats stunned the world, infuriated the Nazi regime, and cemented his legacy as a symbol of courage and justice, honored today with the Jesse Owens Award.
