Audre Lorde, poet and activist, inspires Google Doodle for Black History Month

Audre Lorde, the American poet, civil rights activist, feminist, and professor, is honoured in today's Google Doodle. 

The illustration of the self-described "Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet" was created by Los Angeles-based artist Monica Ahanonu. 

The doodle features an excerpt from Lorde's 1982 speech "Learning from the 60s," delivered at Harvard University as part of a weekend-long celebration of civil rights activist Malcolm X. 

Audre Lorde lectures students at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida in 1983.
