Jesse Owens

Jesse Owens is a great example of perseverance.

One of the reasons he's a great example of perseverance is because when he was young his family was poor so when he had pneumonia they couldn't afford doctors or medicine. When Jesse had a lump in his leg they didn't go to a doctor instead his mom took a hot kitchen knife and cut it out with the kitchen knife.
Another reason he showed perseverance was that even though all the prejudice around him he still persevered and ran all the races.
The last way he showed perseverance was that when he went back Oakville,Alabama he still couldn't sit in front of the bus and he still couldn't eat at any restraunt only black's restraunt even though he was famous.But that didn't discouraged him and he still runs.

Those are some of the ways Jesse Owens Persevered.
