August 3, 1936 - Jesse Owens wins the 100m sprint at the Summer Olympics in Berlin. 

Admittedly, this is a totally gratuitous reblog, but it seemed necessary considering we’re now in the midst of the Summer Olympics. Also, this was our first post to ever get featured on the Tumblr Radar, so it holds a special place for us on the Today’s Document team.
