People look at me like I’m some sort of criminal, some sort of scum that should watch where he’s going. That is until they realize I’m a gold medalist who won the 1936 Berlin Olympics with 4 medals, all of them gold. Then, they start wanting to take pictures with me and hug me since I’m so famous. But I know what they really are, and under that mask of happiness and emotion is a soul that hates Black People because their Black. I can’t do that no more, I live and breath the same air as you. 

I walk the same way as you, I can eat and run the same way as you, but most importantly. I am biologically the same as you. So by looking at the color of my skin you think you can just harass me or make me feel like I’m not worth anything. If you thought that you were wrong, I was born a natural runner, and I have 3 kids and a lovely wife at home who I love dearly. So ain’t no one gonna tell me I shouldn’t be treated the same way as all of you.

This is the monologue that I wrote and read at my presentation yesterday for my Black History Month project. I had about 8 people come to my presentation and talk to me about my person and all fo them wanted me to read my monologue even though I was just saving it for my teacher to come. Apparently, because there was just too much chaos she started videotaping all of the classrooms and I hope she got me when I did it.

She also said that if you didn't get into the video that she recorded there was still a chance that a teacher came up to you and you presented it to them, and then if that was the case than you were fine because the must've told her. But for that wasn't the case, not a single teacher came over to my presentation but 8 kids did. One kid named, "MKai or "M'Kai" was really chill and nice. I talked to him about my guy and then he asked if I wanted to read it. I told him that I did and he said these exact words, "That's cool, I know how hard it is to present, but you did good (2xs)". 

Jesse Owens attended the Olympics in Berlin representing the U.S team. He at the same time was starting a family and dealing with segregation from both Germany and America. This took place in the 1936 olympics and the olympics was recorded for the first time on this day. This was Jesse Owens peak and in this he won 4 gold medals becoming an all around world star.

here are some facts about Jesse Owens so you can get a glimpse of some of the research that I did.
