88 years old (Born on October 19, 1936)
Happy Birthday to the legendary James Bevel! You've always been a minister who knew exactly how to stir hearts and ruffle feathers—directing action with grace, patience, and an unstoppable sense of humor. Your influential work as Director of Direct Action in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference proved one important fact: change is inevitable, especially when you're teaching people vital lessons through peaceful demonstrations (and clever wit!).Today we not only celebrate another wonderful year—but salute all those unforgettable moments you've orchestrated through nonviolent education that still echo throughout history. Keep inspiring us with your courage—and keep laughing boldly!
