Name: James Cleveland "Jesse" Owens
Presence: September 12, 1913
Legacy: March 31, 1980
Landed: Oakville, Alabama, United States
Biography:

James Cleveland "Jesse" Owens was an American track and field athlete best known for his 1936 Olympic performance.

He began competing in track and field in high school and then continued on at Ohio State University. Perhaps his most incredible feat was accomplished when he tied one world record and set three world records all in the span of 45 minutes. This has been considered by some as the most amazing athletic achievement of all time.

In 1936 at the Olympics in Berlin, Germany, he stood up to the Hitler and the Nazi regime and won 4 gold medals in an Olympics that Hitler proclaimed would be dominated by Aryan Germans.

In 1976 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Gerald Ford. He died of lung cancer at the age of 66.
