He was the first black to race against the whites for track and field event
he competed in long jump and 100m sprints and 200m sprints
Lutz Lang competed against Jesse Owens in the broad jump at the 1936 Olympics. Lang finished 2nd to Owens. But the big shocker was after the event, when Lang and Owens circled the track Arm-in Arm which infuriated Adolf Hitler.
In the 1936 Olympics there was Jesse Owens who won four gold medals and broke the world record for the long jump while also beating Lutz Long, An Aryan of pure blood
Because he proved to the world, or most importantly, Hitler, that it wasn't just the Aryan race that was great. Hitler thought that no one could be better than his people and wanted to prove this by holding the Olympics in his country! Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the Olympics (100m and 200m sprint, long jump and 400m relay). This embarrassed Hitler so much so that he was absent for the medal giving to Jesse Owens even when he was there for his countries wins. Hitler was proved wrong on that day, his Aryan race wasn't the best at everything! I hope this helps :P
1970, The Beatles broke up.
