Jesse Owens, American Athlete > 
Jesse Owens was an African American track-and-field star famous for his performance at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Before the eyes of the Nazi leadership, who had hoped to use the games as a source of propaganda for Aryan nationalism, Owens claimed 4 gold medals and set records that lasted for more than 20 years. He later recounted, "When I came back to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus."
