The American people need champions
to remind them what they're capable of.
Jesse, you're the best.
You're the fastest man on the earth.
- Who do we have here? - I'm Jesse Owens.
You're a natural.
I don't trust naturals. And I will say, you can run.
And boy, oh, boy, you can jump. What I want to know is can you win?
Let's see what we got here. Go!
- There a problem, Coach? - No.
You want me to do it again?
Yeah.
Jesse Owens sets a new world record.
- Do you want to win a gold medal? - Sure.
Want to do it in Berlin?
Mr. Owens how can you justify taking part in Germany
when there's so much discrimination here at home?
Now, where do you boys think you're going?
- Just using the showers. - Not until we're through, you're not.
Jesse, you have a chance to strike a powerful blow.
Under the Hitler regime, we must not go to these Olympic games
to show our solidarity
with the oppressed people of Germany.
You get a chance to be a part of history, and you're gonna walk away from it?
Our people looking at me for an example.
- I don't care about any of that! - Yeah, well, you're white, Larry!
You don't have to!
- People are counting on you. - To do what?
To get on over there to Berlin and beat those Nazis.
You was put here to run.
Don't listen to any of them.
Out there, there ain't no black and white.
There's only fast and slow.
Nothing matters. Not color, not money, not even hate.
For those 10 seconds, you are completely...
free.
Now he's just showing off.
