History: Jesse Owens wins gold in Nazi Germany, 1936. He was the most successful athlete at the games and, as a black man, was credited with "single-handedly crushing Hitler's myth of Aryan supremacy", although he "wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President, either." (1935) [787x960]
