- Description:
- "A star athlete and his greatest admirer. Before official reception committees could get to Jesse Owens aboard the liner Queen Mary on his arrival in New York City, Mrs. Jesse Owens and the athlete's parents greeted the triple record-breaker of the 1936 Olympics. Here is the track star and Mrs. Owens posing happily for the battery of newsreel and newspaper cameramen who were on hand to record Owens triumphal arrival."--photo verso.
