Apple Dedicates Homepage to the Leader the U.S. Is Celebrating Today
Interesting selection of Martin Luther King Jr. quotes they’ve chosen for the homepage (PDF archive for posterity): “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” “You must decide to speak for yourself; nobody else can speak for you.” “We cannot preserve self without being concerned about preserving other selves.” Read into those quotes what you will, given today’s other national significance. I think there’s an implied message here, but it’s subtle. I’ll pick a different quote from King, one that I believe better speaks to the current moment: “The great majority of Americans are suspended between these opposing attitudes. They are uneasy with injustice but unwilling yet to pay a significant price to eradicate it.” ★
