Apple marks Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day with homepage memorial
Malcolm OwenApple's homepage for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2024
Apple has honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on its homepage, with a memorial accompanied by a free book about the civil rights movement leader.
January 15 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States, and Apple has again marked the occasion with a temporary replacement of the front page of its website.
Apple has, since 2015, switched its homepage to show a single image of Dr. King. Just as in previous years, the image is accompanied by an inspirational quote, as well as a free copy of a book from Apple Books.
The quote, "Because of our involvement in humanity, we must be concerned about every human being," stems from his commencement address at Morehouse College in 1959.
Apple follows the quote with the statement "We honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and reflect on his legacy of service to all."
Apple includes a link to the book "The Essential Martin Luther King, Jr." which is available on Apple Books for free. The book is a collection of writings and speeches by Dr. King, edited and with a foreword by Clayborne Carson.
