Berlin Olympics

When Jesse went to the Berlin Olympics
in 1936, Hitler saw him and thought no
black man could win anything. But then
when Jesse was racing he was winning
and he didn’t slow down or look back.
When he was close to the finish line he
started sprinting.
When Jesse came in first
place, Hitler was ashamed
and didn’t want to give the
medal to Jesse. Hitler was
embarrassed because he was
racist. Hitler didn’t want any
black man to win, but Jesse
did it and won. Now everyone
knows anybody could win.
