Jessie on the run



Jesse Owens is a man who has been running. He also has a talent for running.
In my imagination, he should be the kind of person who has gone through many difficulties and finally made a stunning jump, like a black lightning, setting a world record.
But that's not the case...


As long as he runs, he can perform miracles;
as long as he participates in running competitions, he can win the championship.
Ordinarily, with such a talent, his career should be very smooth.
This should also be a story full of various refreshing roads to success.
But, that's not the case...


Jesse Owens is impoverished.
It was the eve of World War II.
Black people are still suffering from discrimination.
The Nazis were ready to attack the Jews.


This is not an inspirational story, this is a speculative story.
Avery went to Germany and told the Nazis that if the Olympics canceled the participation of blacks and Jews, the United States would also cancel the participation, because the Olympics should not be racially discriminated.
Davis found Jesse and told him on behalf of the Society of Colored Peoples that you should not go to the Olympics because you are not participating in the resistance of black people.
What Iverly and Davis said made sense. All stand on the commanding heights of morality.
So, who makes sense?

Jesse's father said: Do whatever you want.
Jesse's former opponent said: Black people want you to win.
Jessie said:
When the starting gun fires, I will become unstoppable. Skin color, money, fear and hatred are not important at that moment. There is no distinction between whites and blacks in the arena, only the difference between running fast and running slow. , Within those 10 seconds, you are completely free.
Who makes sense?
When doing things, do you consider the superior morals, or consider your personal feelings?


If Jesse lives in the present, with his achievements, he will definitely be noticed by the world. There will be many businesses looking for him to endorse, and there will be many events inviting him to participate.
However, at an event held for him, a white man stopped him and told him that he could only use the waiter's passage.

Those who look at people with colored glasses, do they have low self-esteem in their hearts while despising others?
……Is
life like this:
for 10 seconds of freedom, for being who you are?
