The Ohio State University Archives has a vast photographic collection from former OSU student and Olympic gold-medalist Jesse Owens. There’s only one problem: many individuals included in the photographs with Owens were left unidentified.
Here’s where you can help (and you want to help us, right?). Below are a handful of photos with unidentified people. If you can ID anyone in the images below, please give us a shout out by email, archives@osu.edu or through our Facebook page.
Here’s hoping you find a few recognizable faces!
#1: Jesse Owens is on the far left. All we know about this photograph is that is was taken during one of Owens’ television appearances in the 1950s.
#2: This photo was taken during Owens’ trip to Japan in 1964. (And, that is all we know!)
#3: Jesse Owens poses with an unidentified man next to the Helms World Trophy, Japan, 1964
#4: Jesse Owens shakes hands with an unidentified man during the Mexico City Olympics in 1968. The man in the background is also unidentified.
