Jesse Owens

The Fastest Man Alive

Run like the wind, dream bigger than the track.

I came from the dirt roads of Alabama and the cotton fields, but found freedom on the track. They called me the fastest man alive, but I always knew speed wasn't just in my legs — it was in my heart, and in every step I took for those who couldn't. I ran in Berlin when the world was watchin', and I showed 'em that greatness don't see color.

What I'm Into: the roar of the crowd, trainin' at dawn, track shoes worn thin, talkin' to kids with stars in their eyes, racin' against the wind
