EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary American athlete, James Jesse Owens, in the midst of his broad jump leap at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Owens' remarkable athletic prowess was responsible for one of his four gold medals and three track-and-field records set during this historic event. With agility and determination evident on his face, Owens defied all odds as an African American competing in a time when racial tensions were high. His extraordinary performance not only showcased his exceptional talent but also challenged the discriminatory ideologies of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. As spectators and judges watch in awe, Owens soars through the air with grace and power. The outdoor setting adds to the sense of freedom and triumph that emanates from this image. It is a testament to both his physical abilities and mental strength. This photograph serves as a reminder of Owens' enduring legacy as an Olympian who transcended barriers and inspired generations to come. Through sheer dedication and unwavering spirit, he became a symbol of hope, breaking down racial barriers while leaving an indelible mark on track and field history. The Granger Collection has preserved this iconic moment in their Carousel Collection, allowing us to appreciate not only Owen's achievements but also the significance they hold within our collective memory.
