Jesse Owens newspaper article.

As part of our Black and Asian history celebration children wrote newspaper articles about significant events. Here is Krishari's article about Jesse Owens and the 1936 Olympic games. Jesse Owens, the fastest man on earth, won a significant four gold medals in Berlin, in front of Hitler. Hitler was annoyed. Owens had proved him wrong and showed that all men are equal and can attend the Olympics. No one in Berlin was able to beat him. He never gave up and neither should you. He worked so hard to achieve his gold medal and it was a beautiful success. When Owens first attended the Olympics he felt scared. He was scared because he was one of the few black people that attended but when he came first, he was blown away with surprise after everyone cheered for him. He was like a mega running machine. I’m sure after he came first, Hitler’s face burst with jealousy. Jesse Owens is a man and was born a man. Jesse Owens has saved the U.S.A. On August 3, he won the amazing 100m sprint. Later in the the week he won the 200m, the long jump and the 4x100m relay. Jesse Owens' achievement is huge because, I’ll tell you what, no one else has won more than four gold medals except him. People say that Jesse Owens is a hero.
