Sprint around the track and get to know Jesse Owens on this fascinating, nonfiction Level 3 Able-to-Read, a part of a new series of biographies about people “you Will have to meet.”

Meet Jesse Owens, an African American runner who won four gold medals on the 1936 Olympics in Berlin! What made his achievement even more memorable was once that Adolph Hitler expected the Olympic Games to be a German showcase. In truth, he criticized the USA for even including black athletes on its Olympic roster. In keeping with many reports, after Owens won his fourth gold medal, Hitler stormed out of the stadium. In 1936 Jesse Owens took a stand against racism and made history.

A special section in the back of the book includes extras on subjects like history and math, plus a short article filled with interesting facts about the Olympics. With the You Will have to Meet series, learning about historical figures has never been so fascinating!
