Google Doodle is celebrating the 155th birthday on 10 June
Google produces the video Doodle on the first verse of the poet "Lift Every Voice and Sing," frequently known as "The Blacks National Anthem," in celebration of the 155%th anniversary of the 10th of June. This is a second video that celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. The vidéo contains art by Elijah Jamal's Loveis Wise, and LeVar Burton is reading the poem.
While slavery officially came to an end with the Proclamation of Emancipation in 1862, the federal order reached Galveston, Texas at the western outskirts of the Confederacy not before June 19, 1865. The 10th of June is "Nineteenth June" shorthand.
"This is an American story of independence , freedom, and the quest for happiness, and I think other Americans will see themselves on these brown faces," said Angelica McKinley, the head art director of Doodle in the video that accompanies her.
One of Google's ways to celebrate the tenth of June is The Doodle. In the earlier months of this month, a vacation day in the U.S. has been added to Google Calendar, and the company also says new questions such as "Hey Google, what's June 10?
In conjunction with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History, Google Arts & Culture has a recent display on the cultural history on Juneteens and a playlist named Juneteenth: Liberation Songs by musicians such as Beyonce and Bob Marley.
A satellite images of the Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, DC was also posted on Google Earth.
Although the June 10th is an significant time in the history of the USA, it is not currently a national holiday, even though it is remembered by other countries. This year, after weeks of anti-racism and police brutality protests, is particularly important.
