He was born in September  the 12th in 1913 and he was a Athletic Champion. He even got a gold medal for long jump and He broke the world's record. He got a gold medal for 4x100 m relay race. He went to the 100 meters after defeating Ralph Metcalfe at the Olympics in 1936. Jesse Owens died in March the 31st,1980. He died from Lung Cancer and the age of 66 and he was buried in Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago.
