He overcame racial prejudice both at home and abroad during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Jesse Owens proved influential wrong by winning an incredible 4 gold medals including 3 world records in the space of 45 minutes. 4J then researched Sir Trevor McDonald's life and produced some super questions in his style.
