Jesse Owens Quotes

"She (Minnie Ruth Solomon) Was Unusual Because Even Though I Knew Her Family Was As Poor As Ours, Nothing She Said Or Did Seemed Touched By That. Or By Prejudice. Or By Anything The World Said Or Did. It Was As If She Had Something Inside Her That Somehow Made All That Not Count. I Fell In Love With Her Some The First Time We Ever Talked, And A Little Bit More Every Time After That Until I Thought I Couldn't Love Her More Than I Did. And When I Felt That Way, I Asked Her To Marry Me ... And She Said She Would."
