Apple Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Apple has updated the home page of its website to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today. The page highlights some of King's most impactful quotes, and invites people to explore his legacy further through the Apple Books and Apple News apps.

Apple 2025 MLK Day
Apple CEO Tim Cook also honored King in a social media post today.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. As a result of this federal holiday, along with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration later today, it is likely to be a slower day for Apple-related product news. Cook will reportedly be in attendance at Trump's inauguration, alongside many other high-profile CEOs.

On the day we honour a true American hero that worked for justice and freedom for all people,
We swear into office a man and a party that has as their stated goal of tearing down what King began and so many of us have worked for.
It is appropriate that today is Blue Monday.

MR I appreciate you putting your post up but why even bother making posts like this when all people are going to do is dishonor King and make it about their own political opinion to try and get people to engage with them in some argument?

Here some inspirational quotes for next year:

“White Americans must recognize that justice for black people cannot be achieved without radical changes in the structure of our society.”

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”
I'm starting to think the only way the people will ever stop worshipping false idols and stand together regardless of race is when the owners have taken everything from all of us and shown us that none of us hold any value to them besides what profits we can generate for them.

From King's 1963 speech: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character."

One party has done exactly the opposite of that statement. Thanks the SCOTUS decision, universities can no longer bias their admissions based on skin color.

Can you tell us exactly what "stated goal" you're talking about? Where exactly was it stated? Your venom is drowning in vagueness. Don't do that.


It is appropriate that today is Blue Monday.
AFAICT, it's called that -- in exactly one place. "Blue Monday" was invented by a UK travel agency in order to drum up business. Pardon us if we fail to attach any significance to the travel agency's lousy marketing campaign. You do know that Sky Travel went belly up ~20 years ago, right? ('https://www.euronews.com/travel/2024/01/15/blue-monday-debunked-why-a-travel-agency-invented-the-most-depressing-day-of-the-year')

"I didn't vote for [candidate XXX] because I didn't want to see them inaugurated on Blue Monday."
