A golf prodigy. A charismatic businessman. A man of brilliance, ambition, and contradiction. A daughter determined to understand him. Mississippi Junior traces the life of Jerry Benjamin Owens — from segregated Mississippi to national acclaim, from Detroit’s promise to Jackson’s Black entrepreneurial rise. Through archives, interviews, and oral histories, his daughter uncovers the man behind the legend: flawed, resilient, generous, unforgettable.
A story of Black excellence, reinvention, and legacy — and the daughter who pieced it all together.
