Google is commemorating Martin Luther King Day for the seventh year in a row with a Doodle.

The illustrated logo depicts Dr. King surrounded by young faces. It includes a line from the famous “I Have a Dream” speech he gave from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to 250,000 civil rights marchers on August 28, 1963: “I have a dream that my four little children will not be judged by their color of their skin … I have a dream today.”

Another phrase surrounding the Doodle, “We shall overcome someday,” includes the title of a key civil rights movement protest song.

As a leader of the civil rights movement, Dr.King traveled more than 6 million miles, spoke more than 2,500 times and was arrested more than 20 times. At 35, he became the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Google’s latest Doodle, according to the Washington Post, was created by artist and author Faith Ringgold, a professor of art at the University of California in San Diego. One of her 11 children’s books is titled, My Dream of Martin Luther King.
