Mexico National Day 2015
On September 16th, 1810,
at the heels of revolutionary leader Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Mexico
declared herself a free state and began its eleven-year struggle for
independence. To celebrate the centennial of this moment in Mexican
history, a team of artists and engineers erected the gold victory column
that juts into the sky above Mexico City and finds itself at the center
of today’s Doodle. The statue--a rendering of Nike, the Winged Goddess
of Victory--holds a severed chain in her left hand and sits atop a
mausoleum in which the remains of Mexico’s most cherished revolutionary
figures are entombed.
Today, guest artist Ana Ramirez celebrates El Ángel with a burst of color befitting the fervor and exuberance of Miguel Hidalgo’s centuries-old Grito de Dolores. ¡Viva México!
