Résumé
Never, ever give up.
Canadian Harry Jerome overcame racism to reach the heights of
track-and-field success. When an injury threatened to end his career, Jerome
trained diligently and went on to achieve one of the greatest comebacks in
sports history.
Made especially for elementary and middle-school classes, this film
features two young students who guide us through Jerome’s life, the challenges
he faced and his legacy—which includes the Harry Jerome International Track
Classic, an event that brings together youth and adults in a celebration of
track and youth fitness.
Learn more about how you can use this film in the classroom and explore
themes of heroism, leadership and community building through the accompanying
educator’s guide: Harry Jerome: The Fastest Man on Earth.

Jerome educator’s guide.
(Harry Jerome is based on the feature
documentary Mighty Jerome, written and directed by
Charles Officer.)
