Jesse Owens was born on September 12, 1913, in Oakville, Alabama, and grew up during a time of significant racial segregation and discrimination in the United States. His childhood in the 1920s and 1930s was marked by economic hardship, particularly during the Great Depression, which affected many African American families. Despite these challenges, Owens excelled in athletics, showcasing his talent in Track and Field while facing societal barriers that limited opportunities for African Americans.
