Nearly 40 years after his snub by FDR, President Gerald Ford invited legendary Olympian Jesse Owens to the White House in August 1976. To Owens' shock, Ford proceeded to not only honor him, but present him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

It was a long-overdue recognition for a man whose triumphs had transcended sport. Owens, son of a sharecropper and grandson of enslaved Americans, had stunned the world at 1936 Berlin Olympics by winning four gold medals in the face of Adolf Hitler’s white supremacist propaganda.

His dominance on the world stage not only shattered Nazi racial ideology but also made him a global icon of resilience, excellence, and dignity.

Yet when he returned home to the U.S., Owens received no call from the White House, no ticker-tape parade. President Franklin D. Roosevelt never sent a letter, made a phone call, or invited him for a visit, reportedly fearing backlash from Southern voters.

Owens would later say, “I wasn’t invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn’t invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either.”

Ford’s invitation in 1976, at the nation’s bicentennial, served as a symbolic correction to that wrong.

In presenting the Medal of Freedom, Ford called Owens “a young man who possibly didn’t realize the greatness of his own accomplishments” and acknowledged the profound impact Owens had on the world. For Owens, it was more than a medal, it was long-delayed validation from the country he had so proudly represented.

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.

Michael Keaton wrapped up his Kent State commencement speech by saying “I’m Batman.”

The Big 12 is slated to announce it’s projecting a gross revenue this year of around $710 million, sources tell @SBJ.

That's a $100 million increase from the previous year and is a record high for the conference.
