In what is becoming an all-out tradition, today's Google's doodle honors the birth of yet another prominent figure. It features a group of children playing hopscotch -- an homage to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Today marks the celebration of activist Martin Luther King Jr's birth (although his real birthday was January 15), and Google has chosen to create an image of unity to honor the civil rights pioneer.
As Time points out, the above picture quite aptly matches sentiments expressed in King's "I Have a Dream" speech: "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Google has honored civil rights activists before -- dedicating a doodle to Rosa Parks back in December.
Past doodles have also featured prominent figures in the arts, including John Lennon (the first video-based doodle) and Agatha Christie.
