Today's Google Doodle honours Olive Morris, one of the most important figures in Britain's Black Power movement during the 1970s.
Morris was a member of the British Black Panthers, and she founded the Brixton Black Women’s Group, a collective of feminist Black women. In 1979, she died at age 27 from cancer. In her short life, she had a huge impact on community activism and fighting systemic racism in Britain.
The Google Doodle, created by artist Matt Cruickshank, marks what would have been Morris' 68th birthday.
