How did Hitler react when Jesse Owens won the 100 meter race?

Hitler left the stadium before the medals were awarded. The 100 meter race was the first of Owens' four medals. It shocked Hitler: his Aryan supremacy myth was in tatters. The only thing worse that could have happened was a Jew winning that first race. He likely didn't want to shake Owens' hand.

Actually Owens was not scheduled to race in the 400 meter relay. It came about only because the American Olympic Committee didn't want to cause an international uproar by allowing 2 Jews to run in the 400. So they replaced both with Owens and Metcalf (who took home a slug of metals himself).

I'm not sure if it is still on Netflix, but a docudrama of the event was made called RACE.

What were the results of wilson's great reform assault on the "triple wall of privilege" - the tariff, the banks, and the trusts

Dima020 [189]

The result was that tariffs were lowered which bothered lobbyists but had great support from the public. The trusts were slowly beginning to end because of the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 and Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914 that was meant to end monopolies in businesses. The banks were reformed with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which is still used today, only modified.
