Apple has given its online home a quick refresh this morning to pay tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. The move marks the first time the company has dedicated a section of its website to the US national holiday, which is observed on the third Monday in January each year.
From the Apple website:
Today we reflect on the life and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the work that continues in service of the broader concerns of humanity.
Tim Cook also paid tribute on Twitter:
Honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLK Apple http://t.co/ngqL0bym8y
— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) January 19, 2015While many in the US enjoy an extra day off, Apple is instead encouraging employees to volunteer. For each and every hour its employees spend carrying out voluntary work, Apple will donate an additional $50 to the Matching Gifts Program.
