. This print captures a powerful moment in history during the Berlin Olympics of 1936. In this image, we see two remarkable American athletes, Helen Stephens and Alice Arden, radiating joy and camaraderie. Helen Stephens, an African American sprinter with boundless determination, achieved greatness by winning gold medals in both the women's 100 meters and 4x100 meters relay events. Her athletic prowess made her a true champion on the track. Alice Arden, another talented athlete representing America in Germany that year, competed fearlessly in high jump. Although she may not have claimed a medal like her teammate Helen Stephens did, her presence symbolized strength and resilience.

It is a testament to the power of athleticism to inspire hope even in challenging times.
