Gnome Wall of Fame


Jesse Owens,

Ohio State University's All-American sprinter, in 1935. In what is considered by many to be the greatest Olympic achievement of all time, Owens won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin in the stadium that German World War II dictator Adolf Hitler built to demonstrate Aryan (white) supremacy. His medals were won in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, the broad jump and the 4x100-meter relay. During the prize ceremony Hitler was so outraged that he refused to present Jesse Owens with his medals.

Some of the many people he did it for!
