Black athlete Jesse Owens won the gold medal at the Hitler Olympic Games in Berlin

88

years ago

03 August 1936,

In Nazi Germany, black athlete Jesse Owens won the gold medal at the Hitler Olympic Games in Berlin. The supremacy of the Aria race hit him with a 100-meter race. It is discussed about Hitler's reaction, as the athletes fired each other, but it was imposed in public opinion that the Nazi leader had acted with contempt. On the contrary, he denounced that he was the president of the United States. In fact, upon returning to the United States, he continued to be discriminated against by segregation, though dominated. Scan the QR code and discover the video of the race.
