Johnny Owen (Nebraska)

Johnny Owen (February 11, 1907 - March 1978) was an American Democratic politician and a member of the Nebraska House of Representatives representing Omaha. After serving in the legislature, Owen was an advocate for civil rights and was known as the "Negro mayor of Omaha".
==Life==
Johnny Owen was born February 11, 1907 in Newport, Arkansas to Wilson N Owen and Fanie McCraty. Wilson worked as a Butcher at Swift and Company in Omaha and had two other children, Joseph and Lyria (Rogers). The family moved to Omaha in 1918. Johnny Owen went to Omaha South High School and was a four sport letter winner, Nebraska's only athlete to do so at the time (letters in track, football, basketball, and baseball). After graduating in 1927, Owen wished to go to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln but was denied on account of his skin color.〔"Johnny Owen Lives"; Omaha World Herald; September 12, 1976; page 57〕 Owen married Thelma M King, daughter of James H King and Florence Blaine on January 19, 1928. After high school Owen played amateur baseball in Omaha, playing for the Union Pacific Gold Coast team,〔"Colored Players Sign"; Omaha World Herald; March 23, 1928; page 21〕 the Culture Center Red Sox with his brother Joe,〔No Headline; Omaha World Herald; April 6, 1929; page 12〕 and the Daves Nine.〔"Good Amateurs Sign Contracts"; Omaha World Herald; April 22, 1932; page 21〕 Johnny's father, Wilson, died October 30, 1937.
Owen left Omaha in 1963 and later in life, Owen contracted cancer. Given three months to live in 1975, he believed the chemical Amygdalin marketed as the drug laetrile was responsible for extending his life. The drug was illegal in the United States, and so he moved to Los Angeles for the proximity to smuggled supplies from Mexico.〔〔The promotion of laetrile to treat cancer has been described in the medical literature as a canonical example of quackery, Lerner IJ (February 1984). "The whys of cancer quackery". Cancer 53 (3 Suppl): 815–9〕 Owens died in March 2, 1978 in Inglewood, California.〔"Owen Rites in California"; Omaha World Herald; March 5, 1978; page 40〕
