I am reading the book "Hitler's Olympics" at the moment by Christopher Hilton.

On the dust jacket there is the following quotation:

'Hitler didn't shake my hand but then FDR didn't either when I came back [to America].'
JESSE OWENS

There is another interesting quotation:
'Do you really think that I will allow myself to be photographed shaking hands with a Negro?'
Hitler to Baldur von Schirach
