15284: Belated MLK Day Observation.

 

On MLK Day, Adweek’s only related coverage involved reporting on holiday promotions from The New Yorker and The Atlanta Hawks. There were no patronizing campaigns by White advertising agencies. No pontificating Op-Eds from Chief Diversity Officers. No self-promotional propaganda by unemployed art directors and copywriters. Quite a contrast to, say, International Women’s Day—and pathetic given that we’re in a time of global heightened awareness and sensitivity for racial and ethnic inequality.

 

The lack of content said a lot.
