Interactive Kiosks

Two interactive touchscreen kiosks with video and audio clips give visitors a glimpse into Jesse Owens’ life as told by Jesse Owens.

One kiosk plays a Wheaties commercial featuring Owens and highlights Owens’ relationship with his Ohio State University mentor, Coach Snyder. At the same kiosk visitors can hear from Owens as he recalls college track and the 1936 Olympics.

A second kiosk plays an Adidas commercial featuring Owens and provides visitors an overview of Owens’ life including Owens speaking to youth and receiving the Roosevelt Award, the highest award given by the NCAA.
