Jesse Owens

In 1936, a 22-year-old son of a sharecropper entered the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. He was barely able to control his anger in the face of Nazi racism. Instead of letting himself be distracted, Jesse Owens channeled his raw emotions into one of the most remarkable achievements of athletic history: four gold medals in two days.
