85 years old (Born on February 21, 1940)
Happy Birthday to the legendary John Lewis! You've marched bravely across bridges, stood firm in Congress since 1987, and even mastered the fine art of being Senior Chief Deputy Whip—proving that courage and humor can coexist. Your tireless fight for civil rights has inspired generations; clearly, age hasn't slowed your stride or dimmed your passion.From Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge to Capitol Hill debates, you've shown us all how "good trouble" is done right. Today we celebrate not just another year older—but another year wiser, stronger, and still ready to stir up a little necessary mischief. Keep marching forward!
