80 years old (Born on June 05, 1945)
Happy Birthday, John Carlos! You've always been fast—so quick that even history struggled to keep pace. Who else could snag an Olympic bronze medal in 1968 and simultaneously leave gold-medal-level mark on the social justice podium? Your iconic Black Power salute is still sprinting through time, inspiring new generations with its power and courage.Today we celebrate another trip around the track of life for you; may your birthday cake be sweeter than victory itself. Here's hoping you're taking a momentarily slower lap today—but knowing you, you'll probably make headlines by raising cake frosting-covered fists instead! Cheers to timeless speed and legendary bravery.
