16505: Greetings From Adland On MLK Day.

 

Seems like only a handful of White advertising agencies and White holding companies bothered to acknowledge MLK Day via social media. The messages are contrived, including the standard sentiments such as:

 

“Today we honor…”

 

“Today, we celebrate…”

 

“As we pay tribute…”

 

Tomorrow, we go back to systemic racism.

 

Hopefully, the companies recognize that the words and images of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are not in the public domain—and the King estate has been paid for usage rights.
