About this audiobook
In this biography of track legend Jesse Owens, readers learn that he was born into a sharecropper's family. The family moves to Cleveland in search of better jobs, and Jesse begins running track while in junior high school there. He immediately begins setting records, and despite the prejudice he faced, he continued his successes through high school, in college, and at the Olympics. He went on to start fitness programs during WWII and won many prestigious awards. He is considered one of the greatest athletes of all time.
