April 4 (UPI) -- Google is paying homage to trumpeter and human rights advocate Hugh Masekela with a new Doodle in honor of what would have been his 80th birthday.
Masekela was born in the town of Witbank, South Africa, where he got his first instrument at the age of 14. He got to play with the Jazz Epistles, the first all-black jazz band, to record an album in South Africa before they were forced to leave by the country's apartheid government.
