Funny enough he stated he felt more appreciation from Hitler and Germany than he did at home In the United states. A month after the Olympic Games, Owens told a crowd, “Hitler didn't snub me—it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram.” Roosevelt never publicly acknowledged Owens's triumphs—or the triumphs of any of the 18 African Americans who competed at the Berlin Olympics.

The old man between Owens and the 2nd is Jigoro Kano, the creator of Judo.
