Jesse Owens: A Retrospective
JESSE OWENS and THE RACE
....little did we know
Part 1:
My mother was 32 and my father 46 when American track and field athlete, Jesse Owens, won four Olympic gold medals. This stunning triumph of the most famous athlete at the 1936 Olympic Games captivated the world even as it infuriated the Nazis. My parents had not yet met in 1936, although they both worked in the lunch-pail city of Hamilton Ontario. They would meet at some time before WW2 broke out, or in the first years of that terrible conflict. I don't know exactly when they did meet; they have long since passed away and so I will never know.
But much is known about the late 30s and early 40s. Modern history is replete with information: Donald Bradman, the cricket legend was scoring 100s of runs in his winning ways; the first players were elected to baseball's hall of fame; the first Volkswagen was built; Alan Turing submitted On Computable Numbers for publication, and in this work he set out the theoretical basis for modern computers; two days later, on 30 May 1936, Shoghi Effendi asked the North American Baha'i community to design the first systematic teaching plan.1 I have been associated with extensions of that plan for more than 60 years.
Part 1.1:
Despite the racial slurs he endured, Jesse Owens' grace and athleticism rallied crowds across the globe. But when the four-time Olympic gold-medalist returned home, he could not even ride in the front of a bus. Jesse Owens(1913-1980) is the story of the 22-year-old son of a sharecropper who triumphed over adversity to become a hero and world champion. His story is also about the elusive, fleeting quality of fame and the way Americans idolize athletes when they suit their purpose, and forget them once they don't.2
Last night I watched a documentary on Jesse Owens.2 I am looking forward to the 2015 biopic Race starring Stephan James who will play Olympic legend Jesse Owens. This is the work of director Stephen Hopkins' which began shooting on 24 July 2014 in Montreal, and on location at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The film will be released in April 2015.
Part 2:
The atmosphere around the 1936 Berlin Olympics was highly politically charged. Originally opposed to the idea of the games, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler was convinced by his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels that they were the perfect opportunity to showcase the superiority of Aryan athletes. Hitler presided over the opening day ceremonies, whipping the crowds into a frenzy of excitement. On 3 August 1936, when Jesse Owens stepped into the massive new Olympic Stadium in Berlin, the crowd went silent with anticipation, sitting on the edge of their seats to see the much-talked-about track star from America compete against the Germans.
