Jesse Owens

trailblazing sprinter

Beginning with the friendship Owens developed with his German rival in the 1936 summer Olympics, this book jumps back in time to describe Owens' impoverished childhood and his family's move north from Alabama to Ohio, followed by personal and career highlights. Numerous black-and-white photos accompany the text.
