Today is the official day that we pay homage to Martin Luther King Jr. Although many of us do so on a more regular basis, some of his brand champions do so every day. As a young man growing up in 1960s America, I can remember the impact that Dr. King made in real time. Of course those of us who were alive at the time will never forget the day that he was taken down in Memphis.
Ironically I was in Memphis last week at this time and I thought about Dr. King then like I do today. What an amazing person and what a legacy. Although much of the outcomes that Dr. King invisioned is still in the aspiration category. When I was an undergraduate history major, one of my concentrations of study was African-American history and had the pleasure to research Martin Luther King Jr. I feel his presence often.
I will always be a brand champion. I anticipate as long as I have this blog there will be periodic space devoted to this Brand Champion of the Day. Another favorite brand is U2. Let us spend a few minutes listening to one of the ways that they pay tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.
