Bobby Joe Morrow (15. října 1935 Harlingen, Texas, USA - 30. května 2020, San Benito[1][2]) byl americký sportovec, atlet, sprinter. Jednalo se o trojnásobného olympijského vítěze z Letních olympijských her 1956 v australském Melbourne. Jako šestý atlet v historii olympijských her získal tzv. „běžecké double“ na trati 100 a 200 metrů. K tomu přidal zlato ze štafety na 4 × 100 metrů. Čas americké štafety byl tehdy 39,5 s, což byl nový světový rekord, který vydržel dvacet let.[3]

Byl ultrakonzervativním křesťanem.[4]

V říjnu 2006 po něm Vysoká škola v San Benitě pojmenovala stadión s kapacitou 11 000 míst.[5]

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
