It's somehow simultaneously predictable and surprising that marketers and advocates continue to try to harness a holiday like Martin Luther King Day. Some just couldn't help tacking their latest unrelated hashtag onto a King quote. Others went further. But a few may have commemorated the day just about right. Which do you think is which?
Today is the day for dreaming. Happy MLK Day.
