Jesse Owens is a great example of perseverance for many reasons. One way he showed perseverance was when his mom had to cut the lump out with a hot kitchen knife. Another way is he suffered through pneumonia.Another way Jesse Owens persevered was when people were predjudice and African Americans weren't treated fairly. I learned one thing about Jessie Owens and that is he persevered a lot through out his life.
