COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s governor plans to dedicate a new state park and wildlife area named for Olympic great Jesse Owens.
Two of Owens’ daughters are expected to accompany Gov. John Kasich during Tuesday’s dedication events in Columbus at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium and later in the day at Miner’s Memorial Park in McConnelsville.
The Republican governor announced the creation of the park earlier this year in his final State of the State speech.
