Jesse Owens
- “Mr. Hitler had to leave the stadium early, but after winning I hurried up to the radio booth. When I passed near the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany.”
Quoted in “Owens, Back, Gets Hearty Reception” by Louis Effrat, The New York Times, (August 25, 1936), p.25. Online for subscribers only. - “Hitler didn’t snub me; it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.”
