Google Doodle Commemorates 100 Anniversary of Silent Parade | Time.com



Today's Google Doodle is commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the Silent Parade, a demonstration on July 28, 1917, where nearly 10,000 people marched in silence down New York's Fifth Avenue to Madison Square protesting about African-American rights in the U.S..
The demonstration was one of America's first mass protests of lynching and other anti-black violence and was led by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), including leaders James Weldon Johnson and W.E.B Du Bois.
