New Google Doodle recognizes 100th anniversary of the Silent Parade

Google is paying tribute to one of America's landmark civil rights protests: the Silent Parade.

In honor of the demonstration's 100th anniversary, Google's homepage is commemorating the July 28, 1917 New York march to protest racism and violence against black people.

Organized and led by the NAACP, it saw around 10,000 men, women, and children — including prominent civil rights activists like W.E.B. Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson — gathered to march down Fifth Avenue to Madison Square.
