Happy Birthday, Tommie Smith! You're still sprinting ahead of us all—though thankfully now at a more leisurely pace. Your iconic Olympic moment remains timeless; raising your fist in 1968 wasn't just powerful—it was legendary enough to inspire generations and even make statues jealous.Recently, you've continued inspiring through advocacy and education, proving that true champions never retire—they simply find new podiums. May this birthday bring you as much joy as the countless smiles you've given others over the years. Keep running strong (but maybe skip the medal stand protest today—we've got cake waiting)!
