Google Doodle is marking on Tuesday the life and legacy of Raoul A. Cortez, a pioneer of Spanish-language radio and broadcasting in the U.S. and a civil rights activist, on what would have been his 118th birthday.
In this photo taken June 16, 2015, a photograph of Raoul Cortez, a community centered media pioneer, is displayed at the American Enterprise exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington. A wide range of innovations from Eli Whitneys cotton gin to the early Google servers will help tell the story of American business history for the first time at the Smithsonian.
Cortez, who was Mexican American, founded the first Spanish-language radio station as well as the first TV station aimed at Hispanics. Guest artist Rafael Lopez, who is also Mexican American, aimed to depict “the various roles Cortez played in furthering Latino culture and civil rights in the U.S.,” according to the Doodle.
