Apple Tributes Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
10/26/2005 19:36 Filed in: Culture Watch
Apple reaches back to its old "Think Different" campaign to offer tribute to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks who died Monday of this week at the age of 92. The picture is on the main page of their website, http://www.apple.com . Back in the late nineties, Apple released a series of posters with influential people from the 20th Century on them and the words "Think Different." If connecting a modern historical figure and a not-directly-related computer company is too commercial for you, take comfort in the fact that if you go to the Apple site and actually click on the link, it takes you to an informative article about Rosa Parks that makes no mention of computers anywhere on the page. Plus, there's a link on that page to the National Civil Rights Museum .
