Renaissance . . . African American In Sports

Welcome

“The Renaissance Period of the African American in Sports” tells the story of the nine (9) African American Olympic medalists who were members of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games Track & Field Team for the USA. These athletes came from across the United States, from the west coast to the east. 

Given the racism and challenges facing Black Americans at that time, their accomplishments laid the foundation for athletes of color to integrate and eventually play a leading role in professional sports today.


This year proved to be  a pivotal year of transformation and dramatic  change for the African American athlete in America. It’s a story about  the hard road to glory and hardship that confronted African American  athletes of that era.


It prominently features the story of Jesse Owens along with the nine  African American Olympic medalists who also dominated in track &  field. The epic performances of those nine black Olympic medalists  became a supreme declaration.  A declaration that simply stated African  American athletes could compete at the highest levels of  international   competition.
