If only it had been installed in 1936-9 when Jesse Owen's contemporaries would still have been familiar with every detail of his career. Nowadays who would remember his heroism?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-14941249816719038562019-09-07T20:53:17.182+10:002019-09-07T20:53:17.182+10:00How amazing this statute you have shared .

They spent a _fortune_ on the fortnight!Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-11159568938653091462013-11-22T18:57:32.431+11:002013-11-22T18:57:32.431+11:00That is a very interesting observation about Owens...That is a very interesting observation about Owens being able to stay in the same hotels as whites.

Born in a large, struggling family, Owens was not allowed to live at his uni because they did not have housing for black students. Ditto no scholarship for black students. When he travelled with the Ohio State team to competitions, he had to live and eat in separate hotels.<br /><br />No wonder he loved his time in Berlin. He was warmly accepted as a winning athlete, not a black man to be hidden away. How ironic is that?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-49017961067115127262013-11-10T09:09:37.657+11:002013-11-10T09:09:37.657+11:00Parnassus

Still, it is important to get these stories right, if only not to allow an entering crack for rewriters of history. Even if Hitler did not directly insult Owens, that only raises him from the worst person in history to...the worst person in history.<br /><br />By the way, I am pleased to see another mention of Cleveland, Ohio. The Owens statue is right downtown in Fort Huntington (not Washington) Park. McVey is a well-known Cleveland sculptor, here is a link that tells more about him and his work:<br />http://www.clevelandartsprize.org/awardees/william_mcvey.html<br /><br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
