It’s Black History Month and Google is using its platform to educate, inspire, and promote diversity. Earlier this month, Google launched a Voices and Stories Collection, a Black History Culture Project, supported Black-owned businesses, and featured the artwork of a Black artist every Monday on the YouTube homepage as a Doodle.
Google is further celebrating Black art and self-expression by featuring a new collection of 24 Chrome themes – created by a group of six contemporary Black artists – which represent each artists’ interpretation of the ways people use Chrome. The themes are available in the Chrome Web Store and are guaranteed to add a nice pop of color into your daily browsing. My personal favorite is “Bits + Pieces” by Laci Jordan, which to me has the perfect balance between a dark mode aesthetic and the different colored and shaped pieces that represent the diversity among us.
It’s great to see Google celebrating and honoring Black History Month this way.
