Biography

Joseph Stadler was a prominent athlete from Cleveland at the turn of the 20th century, who competed for the Franklin Athletic Club. Formerly believed to be one of the first black men to compete in the Olympics, that has been disproved by recent photographs of him discovered in the Cleveland Leader newspaper. Little else is known of his life.
