Owens was cheered enthusiastically by 110,000 people in Berlin's Olympic Stadium and later ordinary Germans sought his autograph when they saw him in the streets.
Owens was allowed to travel with and stay in the same hotels as whites, an irony at the time given that Negroes in the United States were denied equal rights.
After a New York ticker-tape parade in his honor, Owens had to ride the freight elevator to attend a reception for him at the Waldorf-Astoria.
He later recounted:
Post Olympics
After the games he had difficulty making a living and became a sports promoter, essentially an entertainer.
He would give local sprinters a ten or twenty yard start and beat them in the 100 yd (91 m) dash.
He also challenged and defeated racehorses although as he revealed later, the trick was to race a high-strung thoroughbred horse that would be frightened by the starter's pistol and give him a good jump.
His self-promotion eventually turned into a public relations career in Chicago, including a long stint as a popular jazz disc jockey there.
In 1968, Owens received some criticism for supporting the racially turbulent XIX Olympic Games that year.
Jesse Owens was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976 by Gerald Ford and (posthumously) the Congressional Gold Medal by George H. W. Bush on March 28, 1990.
In 1984, a street in Berlin was renamed for him and the Jesse Owens Realschule/Oberschule (a secondary school) is in Berlin-Lichtenberg.
His birthplace in Oakville dedicated a park in his honor in 1996, at the same time the Olympic Torch came through the community, 60 years after his Olympic triumph.
A pack-a-day smoker for 35 years, he died of lung cancer at age 66 in Tucson, Arizona.
Owens is buried in Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago.
