Jesse Owens faced significant racial discrimination and economic hardship throughout his life, which shaped his journey as an athlete. Growing up in a segregated America, he encountered obstacles in training and competition due to racism. Despite these challenges, he persevered and achieved historic success at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where he won four gold medals, challenging the Nazi ideology of racial superiority. His triumphs not only elevated him as a sports icon but also made a powerful statement against racial prejudice.
