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-meter sprint, 200-meter 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.
