@mekkaokereke @jupiter Jesse Owens is a real hero in my eyes, not only for what he achieved at the Olympics and elsewhere, but for being such an ally to his Jewish teammates in Berlin in 1936.

Glickman later recalled Owens saying: ”Coach, I’ve won three gold medals. Let Marty and Sam run. They deserve it."

Owens tried to give up his chance for his 4th gold medal in the 4 x 100 relay race to be an ally for his teammates. What an incredibly selfless act.
