London, Apr. 1 (ANI): Google's decision to honour the birthday of U.S. labour organizer Cesar Chavez angered some American conservatives, who were fumed that it was disrespectful to celebrate Chavez with a so-called Google Doodle on Easter.
Chavez was chosen to be the focus of a Google doodle on Sunday to mark his 86th birthday, which coincided with the Easter Sunday.
The face of Chavez was situated in the middle "o" of the Google logo.
According to the Guardian, the celebrated co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association died in 1993.
Last Year, Obama declared March 31 to be Cesar Chavez Day, and said it should serve as an opportunity for Americans to 'observe this day with appropriate service, community and education programmes' in honour of his legacy.
The Daily Caller was one brave website challenging the Internet search giant over choosing to celebrate Chavez's birthday over Easter.
It prominently pointed out the cozy relationship between Google chief executive Eric Schmidt and Obama.
The conservative site Twitchy initially confused the matter by claiming Google was honouring Hugo Chavez, the recently deceased Venezuelan leader.
But the Microsoft search engine opted to play it safe Sunday, with a picture of colourful eggs adorning its search page, the report added. (ANI)
