06/06: A Gripe About Google
Category: General
Posted by: Tocqueville
You've probably noticed that Google likes to commemorate certain historical events on its home page by turning the Google logo into an image that represents something relevant that happened on that day. For instance, events like “World Water Day,” MLK’s Birthday, Earth Day, and even the Chinese New Year get recognized every year without fail. And Christmas and Easter are always heavily secularized in their depictions.
On this, the 64th anniversary of one of the most pivotal days in the history of the modern world, the day where thousands of America’s finest young men fought and died on the beaches of Normandy to help push back the forces of fascism and tyranny, how does Google pay tribute to this event?
Naturally, by celebrating the life of Diego Velazquez, a Spanish painter who died in 1660.
