Among those dissenting was Ernest Lee Jahnke, who took a strong public stand against the Berlin games. There are pictures showing the 334 U.S. athletes on the liner Manhattan, the biggest team in history. Among them were 19 African-Americans, who returned home with many medals. Adding to the painful irony was that when the athletes returned to the United States, they were subject to continuing discrimination, as shown in photographs. As viewers are transported back in time some 60 years, some see the parallels in human rights issues with the approach of the Beijing Olympics of 2006.
