As it does each year, Apple is celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the US with a homepage tribute to the American civil rights movement leader, featuring a quote from Dr. King in addition to a link for visitors to obtain a free copy of the book Strive Toward Freedom from Apple Books.
Continuing the tribute, Apple CEO Tim Cook has shared another quote from Dr. King to his followers on Twitter, as well as updating his Twitter profile bio with a third quote from Dr. King.
Although it’s unclear if plans have been put in place this year, in years past Apple has given their employees a day off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, with the company previously offering a special gift-matching promotions, donating $50 for every voluntary hour worked by its employees.
Dr. King said, “We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the time and persistent work of dedicated individuals.” Grateful to everyone carrying on the legacy of Dr. King and making a difference in their communities. pic.twitter.com/TKA0fniWVv
