John \u00ab Army \u00bb Howard a particip\u00e9 aux Jeux de Stockholm 1912<\/a>, o\u00f9 il est devenu le premier olympien noir du Canada.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame si sa s\u00e9lection dans l’\u00e9quipe olympique canadienne fut historique, elle fut aussi controvers\u00e9e, se soldant par une couverture raciste dans les journaux de cette journ\u00e9e. On lui a interdit de demeurer au m\u00eame h\u00f4tel que ses co\u00e9quipiers blancs lorsque tous se sont rassembl\u00e9s \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al avant de prendre le bateau qui les emm\u00e8nerait de l’autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l’Atlantique.<\/p>\n

Howard \u00e9tait un sprinteur au sommet des classements au 100 m et au 200 m, mais un mal de ventre \u00e0 Stockholm l’a emp\u00each\u00e9 de courir dans son \u00e9tat optimal et il n’a pas avanc\u00e9 en finale dans ses \u00e9preuves individuelles comme dans les relais 4 x 100 m et 4 x 400 m. Un an apr\u00e8s ses d\u00e9buts olympiques, Howard est devenu le champion canadien au 100 verges et au 220 verges.<\/p>\n

Howard a servi avec le Corps exp\u00e9ditionnaire canadien pendant la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale et a remport\u00e9 le bronze au 100 m aux Jeux Interalli\u00e9s de 1919. Ses petits-enfants, Harry<\/a> et Valerie Jerome<\/a>, ont suivi son exemple et sont devenus olympiens \u00e0 Rome 1960<\/a>. Harry Jerome a remport\u00e9 le bronze au 100 m \u00e0 Tokyo 1964<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
