All of the winners at the 1936 Berlin Olympics were given oak saplings to commemorate their victory. Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at those Olympics, ultimately received four. In this photo, Ruth Owens, his wife, is shown with three of the saplings which arrived at their house by mail on December 23, 1936. | Date: December 26, 1936 | Source: Cleveland Memory, Michael Schwartz Library Special Collections at Cleveland State UniversityDownload Original File
