Meeting Cleveland Mayor Ray T. Miller

Meeting Cleveland Mayor Ray T. Miller
After East Tech track star Jesse Owens set three national high school records at the National Interscholastic Track Championship held in Chicago on June 17, 1933, he was honored by the City of Cleveland with a parade and a meeting with Mayor Ray T. Miller. In this photo, he is shown accepting a "laudatory" city resolution from Mayor Miller (in white suit.). To the left of Mayor Miller is Jesse's father, Henry Cleveland Owens, and to the right of Jesse Owens is his mother, Emma Owens. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collection
