Today, Jan. 15, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. Once again, Apple is celebrating the life of the civil rights icon on the company’s homepage.
On the website, Apple has posted King’s quote, “The time is always right to do what is right.”
At the same time Apple CEO Tim Cook has honored the slain leader via Twitter:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Let’s find the light and the love, together. #MLK
