Akomplice has the utmost respect for what Martin Luther King Jr. did and for who he was. We feel blessed to share a century with this man, and thought it appropriate to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day by looking at the continued impact he makes on our world today. MLKJ means so much not only to African Americans, but to anyone who believes in needed change. This man feeds our courage to stand up for what we believe in whether we are alone or with many. His memory breeds inspiration to achieve our greatest dreams, even when faced with insurmountable odds. Martin Luther King Jr. made ripples that will affect millions, but to us he stands for more than his accomplishments in this life; he stands for the potential that every single human being has to make a change in this life. If he can do it, we can do it! We’d like to give a shout to MLK and say Thank You for creating a better world, not only for African Americans, but for everyone. Check some of the MLK inspired graphics created by Akomplice made for t-shirts. Note: the top graphic is used exclusively for this blog post.
2004: Spring. The above “We Need A Leader” graphic was designed during George Bush Jr.’s term as president. Fortunately, we have Obama as a leader now.
2006: Summer. The above “Commemorate and Celebrate” graphic was designed to Commemorate the people who lived strong, courageous lives. It’s our turn now!
