New Google Doodle celebrates slavery abolitionist Mary Prince

Mary Prince was a pretty inspiring woman who is recognised as a galvanising force in abolishing slavery in the British colonies. 

And today, she is also the subject of a beautiful Google Doodle. The 18th century anti-slavery campaigner and autobiographer is pictured standing on a beach reading a book surrounded by white seagulls.
