June 3, 2016: Rhee Seund Ja’s 98th birthday

Children's Day is recognized on various days in many places around the world to honor children globally. It was first proclaimed by the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in 1925 and then established universally in 1954 to protect an "appropriate" day.

Lotte Reininger created visually stunning and fantastical films using black cardboard, scissors, and boundless imagination. Pre-dating Walt Disney by nearly a decade, Reiniger pioneered a style of animation that relied on thousands of photos of paper cut-out silhouettes arranged to tell a story.

Today we celebrate Italy's Festa della Repubblica! This year is particularly special, as it's the 70th anniversary of Italian Republic. It's also the 70th anniversary of the women's right to vote — thanks to the establishment of universal voting rights. Today's doodle by Alyssa Winans features the Presidential Palace and Museum, II Palazzo del Quirinale. Today, many Italians will spend the day watching parades and official national ceremonies in Rome.
