Early vintage pencil signature, "Jesse Owens, U.S.A.," on the reverse of a 3.5 x 6 official 1936 Olympics identification card for a woman on the Olympic Committee of Uruguay. In fine condition. An exceptional Owens example on a rare format, presumably signed at the historic 1936 Games. Owens wowed the world in Berlin, taking home gold medals in the men's 100 meters sprint, 200 meters sprint, long jump, and 4 × 100 meter relay. He was the most successful athlete at the Games and, as a black man, was credited with 'single-handedly crushing Hitler's myth of Aryan supremacy.' Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
