Every new application starts with a letter of inquiry. In your LOI submission, consider answering the following questions:
-
What problem are you trying to solve with this idea?
-
What are the objectives or outcomes you aim to achieve?
-
What interventions or strategies are you considering?
-
Who are your partners?
-
How does your project take into consideration our commitments to racial equity and racial healing, community engagement and/or leadership development, or what WKKF refers to as our DNA?

The Legacy of Jesse Owens By Kenya Vardaman Ramirez Contributing Writer
The 1930s were marked by an economic and social crisis that ravaged the world. World War II led to the destruction of buildings, the wrecking of roads, and the depletion of power resources. Food shortages and rationing caused prices to soar, increasing demand. During this time, the Great Depression significantly impacted daily life in the United States, amidst growing conflicts abroad.
In Germany, Adolf Hitler established a Nazi regime focused on eliminating Jews and Blacks from the country's gene pool, aiming to create a nation of individuals with blonde hair and blue eyes, whom he considered to be mentally and physically superior. Reports indicate that many Blacks living in 1930s Germany were imprisoned, forcibly sterilized, and murdered by the Nazis.
The 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany, were intended to showcase Aryan mental and physical superiority on a global stage. Despite the NAACP's call for an African American boycott of the games due to Hitler's discriminatory policies, other American Olympic organizations advocated for the inclusion of African American athletes, recognizing their past achievements.
James Cleveland Owens, born on September 12, 1913, in Oakville, Alabama, and known as Jesse Owens, arrived in Berlin as a celebrated track and field athlete from Ohio State University. He received unexpected support from the young German community. Adidas founder Adi Dassler approached Owens, asking him to wear a prototype of his new shoe during the competition. Owens made history by becoming the first African American to win four gold medals in a single Olympic Games and the first African American man to be sponsored by an athletic shoe brand. His achievements directly challenged Hitler's theory of African American inferiority and established a legacy of African American excellence in track and field.
Upon his return to the United States after the 1936 Olympics, Owens faced the realities of second-class citizenship. Despite his Olympic success, he was not offered scholarships at Ohio State University and initially struggled to find employment. However, Owens persevered through these challenges and contributed to the New York Mets' World Series championship as their running coach and played a role in organizing Baseball's Negro Leagues.
Owens's influence extended beyond his athletic achievements, particularly through his impact on the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Athletes John Carlos and Tommie Smith, inspired by Owens, made a powerful statement against racial inequality in America by raising their fists during the medal ceremony. This silent protest, with athletes wearing black gloves and socks, became an iconic image of the Black Power movement.
Today, Jesse Owens's legacy continues to resonate within African American culture and the broader narrative of protest. In 2013, Adidas's collaboration with Kanye West became one of the most lucrative sneaker partnerships in history, second only to Nike and Michael Jordan. In 2016, President Obama honored Jesse Owens's relatives for his achievements over 80 years earlier. Athletes like Colin Kaepernick have continued the tradition of protest, with Kaepernick explaining his decision to kneel during the national anthem as a stand against the oppression of black people and people of color in America.
In remembering Jesse Owens, we are reminded of the power of sports as a platform for social change and the enduring impact of his legacy: "As we run, we become."
