What was the change in the attitude of the press before and after owen’s fantastic performance owens vs the master race
Answers
The press underwent a massive change after Owen's impressive and excellent performance in the Berlin Olympics of 1936. Earlier, being a black, he was deeply criticised by the press as well as the German authorities . They believed that being a black, he is not able to accomplish anything. However, after he won 4 gold medals, the press hailed him and critics took his praise to the seventh sky. Even in his homeless country US, where black were discriminated, he was particularly hauler for breaking the myth of the "Master Race" and putting America at the top. He generated a great fan popularity and when he went to tour the Europe, he was almost exclusively surrounded by the press. So, we can say that the press underwent a bombastic change after Owen's splendid performance.
