Synopsis by Karla Baker

This documentary pays tribute to the great African-American Olympians who have brought honor to themselves, their race, and their country throughout the years. Several notable athletes of the 20th century are profiled here, including Carl Lewis, Cassius Clay, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Jesse Owens, whose victory in 1932 humiliated the Nazi Olympic hosts in Munich.
