Description: In honor of Black History Month in the U.S., today's slideshow Doodle—illustrated by Los Angeles-based guest artist Monica Ahanonu—celebrates Audre Lorde, internationally-acclaimed American poet, feminist, professor, and civil rights champion. Born on this day in 1934 in Harlem, New York City, Audre Lorde used writing and poetry as the vehicle for her lifetime advocacy against discrimination and racial injustice. She has emerged as a key figure in the Black and LGBTQ+ cultural movements of the 20th century.
