With a unique Doodle, Google Doodle honored its 25th birthday today. Google always looks to the future yet pauses to remember its first year.
After meeting as doctorate students at Stanford University’s computer science program towards the end of the 1990s, Sergey Brin and Larry Page founded Google 25 years ago.

This Google Doodle will be accessible everywhere, with the exception of specific areas, such as Russia.
South African jazz pianist, composer, and writer Todd Matshikiza was honored in the final Doodle that was made public on September 25. The Google Doodle honored his commissioned piece “Uxolo” (Peace), which was performed by an orchestra during the 70th Johannesburg Festival on September 25, 1956. It was illustrated by South African guest artist Keith Vlahakis.
The song “Quickly in Love,” written by Matshikiza, is well-known for its use in the 2013 movie “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.” Additionally, he wrote the music for the critically acclaimed theatrical musicals “King Kong” and “Mkhumbane.” All-black jazz musical “King Kong,” which made its debut in 1958, quickly gained popularity and even traveled to London. For “Mkhumbane” (1960), compositions by Matshikiza and Alan Paton were equally well-known.
