Google Celebrates Lindy Hop for Black History Month

A few years ago, Google celebrated Frankie Manning on his birthday with a wonderful animated Google “Doodle” on the front page of the search engine.

For Black History Month, Google’s Arts and Culture portal showcases several aspects of lindy hop culture. This includes:

• a presentation on the Black roots of lindy hop

• a profile of Frankie Manning and Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers

• a focus on dancer and Frankie Ambassador Joshua McClean

Other notable lindy hoppers and Frankie Ambassadors profiled:

• Zeng Weiming

• Itay Stukelsky

• Samuel Coleman

There’s lots more to explore on the portal on Black history and culture.
