Celebration for a Champion sculpture, plaza at OSU honor Jesse Owens
This year marks the 90-year anniversary of Jesse Owens’ remarkable feats of athleticism at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany.
Not only did Owens defeat the world’s best track athletes – resulting in four Olympic gold medals for the Ohio State University student – but in many ways his victory challenged white nationalism and the racist ideologies that Germany's Adolf Hitler used to build his Nazi regime, as well as the systemic racism plaguing 1930s America.
After Owens’ passing in March 1980, Ohio State sought to celebrate the alumni’s accomplishments. The south and north recreation centers were named after Owens.
But Ohio State had much bigger plans as well, commissioning a large commemorative sculpture as the focal point of the to-be-named Jesse Owens Memorial Plaza at the northern end of Ohio Stadium.
