Am I mistaken, or have Google Doodles been appearing more frequently these days? Today’s is a good one, a lovely portrait:
If you click on the portrait at Google (the picture above is a screenshot), you’ll see that that person is Dorothy Irene Height (1912-2010), who would, if she had lived, been 102 today. Regarded as the “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement”, her involvement in that endeavor was pervasive and long lasting. You can read about her at the Washington Post, or on Wikipedia.
I think you’re right about the increased frequency of Doodles, but I’d (obviously) have to check the data to confirm that….

Can’t seem to see it in Canada. The archive doesn’t yet show it and it always seems to force me back to google.ca.
I just visited the WaPo link. It is a very nice tribute, marred only by the commenters who have consigned her to Hell, because she supported women’s health through Planned Parenthood.
If you let your cursor over “I’m feeling lucky,” it cycles through numerous options. “I’m feeling doodley” leads to a page with all the year’s doodles, most of which were regional (March 20 was the first day of autumn in the southern hemisphere, for example).
Thank you! That’s very helpful info.
Indeed!
