#GetMovin By almost all accounts Jessie Owens was one of #TheGreatest Olympic athletes in history. My son read this book for a research paper on Jessie Owens and the 1936 Berlin Olympics. (Which means I read the book too) Very informative and easy to read. Full of historical context given the times.
