Biographical Note

James Cleveland (J.C.) Owens was born September 12, 1913, in Oakville, Alabama, one of 10 children raised by Henry and Mary Emma Owens. In the early 1920s, the family moved to the east side of Cleveland, Ohio.

It was at Fairmount Junior High in Cleveland where Jesse started participating in athletics and where he met Charles Riley, the track coach who would have such a great influence on Owens' early running career. In 1930, Owens started attending East Technical School, and Riley was hired to help train him. Owens eventually became the best-known track star in Cleveland, dominating every race he entered.

The next fall, Owens matriculated to Ohio State University. There, he was coached by Larry Snyder, who eventually became the U.S. coach for the 1936 Summer Olympic Games. In May 1935, at the Big Ten Finals in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Owens set world records in three events.

However, it was at the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin where Owens made history. He became the first track athlete to win four gold medals. With his victories in track and field, Owens also proved Nazi leader Adolph Hitler's racist theories wrong, and in doing so, became an American hero.

After returning from the Olympics, Owens used his newfound fame to explore a myriad of opportunities, from running a dry-cleaning company to serving as a spokesman for the Ford Motor Co. Along the way, he and his wife, Ruth, had three daughters, Gloria, Marlene, and Beverly. Owens eventually settled into a life of nearly constant travel, attending events as a motivational speaker or making appearances for nonprofit causes, such as the Boys' Clubs of America.

Owens also was awarded many honors, including an honorary doctorate from Ohio State University. In 1976, President Gerald Ford awarded him the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor for a civilian. By that time, Owens was no longer as active, although he still kept an impressive travel schedule. In late 1979, Owens was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died on March 31, 1980, at the age of 66.

For more detailed information on Owens' life, see The Ohio State University Archives' website.

Scope and Contents

The Jesse Owens Collection includes papers, photographs and artifacts that pertain to Jesse Owens' athletic career, his business interests, his philanthropic activities and his personal life. Generally, the items in this collection span a time period from when Owens was a student at the Ohio State University, starting in 1933, to his death in 1980. Much of the papers come from Owens' later life and pertain to his career as a motivational speaker and his involvement in various philanthropic activities. The photographs and artifacts, however, relate to activities in which he was involved throughout his life. Of special interest are the diary that Owens kept during the Olympics of 1936 and four medals awarded during those games. (The original medals were lost years ago and were replaced by the German government.) Papers from his wife, Ruth Owens, and his daughter, Marlene Owens Rankin, also are included in this collection. This collection also includes artifacts from tribute events at Ohio State University, a poster from the 2016 movie Race, and materials related to the Jesse Owens Foundation.

This series includes very few letters from Owens of a personal nature. Many of the letters are from organizations seeking to honor him for his athletic achievements or charitable work, or they are related to his business interests and charitable activities. Some relate to his activities related to the Olympic movement. There is no correspondence between Owens and Lutz Long, a German athlete who competed against Owens in the 1936 Olympics. "Media-related activities - Magazine and newspaper articles: 1975-1979" (Box UA.RG.41.4.0002, Folder 33) includes Owens' response to a request from a Soviet Life reporter for his opinion on the 1980 Moscow Games boycott.
