    Shows how far the US came at the time this was posted. Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the Berlin Olympics, but came home to sitting on the back of a bus, and taking second place in social circumstances.
    He's a hero in much more than the obvious sporting sense.

      Your comment is proof that nationalism didn't die with Hitler. People are still segregating via country if not skin color. Why not just say he was a great man, which he was. As Einstein said _"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."_

Not to mention not being able to eat with his white teammates. There was even a story where there was a diner that didn't allow Blacks so his white teammates bought extra food and brought it out to the car and the owner or manager came out and grabbed the food from them and dumped it on them. How anyone can be full of that much hate I will never understand.
