Apple and Tim Cook Commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States, a federal holiday commemorating the American civil rights movement leader.





Apple today has honored the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a full-page tribute on its website (https://www.apple.com/). A photo of Dr. King is accompanied by an iconic quote of his: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Over the weekend, Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted a photo of himself and others volunteering at A.J. Dorsa Elementary School in San Jose, California, reflective of Dr. King's call for people to serve others.





Cook has since commemorated Martin Luther King Jr. Day in a follow-up tweet.
