Good interview, especially regarding Jesse Owens. However it would have been great to have some details and commentary in regard to the appearances of Jesse Owens on the Tonight Show in the 1960’s. Owens was interviewed by guest hosts Bob Newhart in 1967 and Sammy Davis, Jr. in 1968. Owens appeared with Israeli leader Moshe Dayan in 1967. It would have been good to hear any family lore about these appearances. Please get her back on.
