I finally finished Jesse Owens Bio and i have to say i actually enjoyed it. He had a really harsh life and he grew up to be something amazing. He had broken records and shown the people how to be confident. I have learned so much from him in ways that he lived his life with out fear and confidence. People back then were really horrible to black people but he still believed in his dream when nobody did. In his life he jumped over struggles like hurdles like they were nothing and thats what inspires people.
Jesse Owens has to be one of the most bravest people that lived in many ways. First Jesse Owens was black and he lived in the 1930's which was when black people were still being segregated. Yet he followed his dreams of becoming an olympic athlete. I know this because in the entire book it says this over and over again. Secondly, many black people were afraid of being killed by the Ku Klux Klan. But, Jesse Owens didn't live his life with fear he lived it with compassion.
