Comcast NBCUniversal’s Digital Mosaic Celebrates Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Invites Public Participation
In celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and in honor of MLK Day, Comcast NBCUniversal has launched VisionsOfKing.com, an interactive online platform that enables people to upload photos and videos through Instagram, sharing how they keep Dr. King’s vision alive.
“The Comcast NBCUniversal family continues to honor the living legacy of the civil rights movement and its leaders,” said Mary McLaughlin, Senior Vice President for Comcast’s Beltway Region. “It’s our hope that the community embraces this project to share their visions of Dr. King’s dream and what it means to them – not just on MLK Day but through the end of February as we celebrate Black History Month.”
The photos and videos will be part of a digital mosaic that will live online and will be on display at The King Center in Atlanta on MLK Day, January 21, during the Comcast NBCUniversal-sponsored “2019 King Holiday” celebration.
Comcast NBCUniversal is proud to celebrate the life of Dr. King and our commitment to the African American community through our programming, our hiring, our partnerships with diverse nonprofit organizations and more. For example, Comcast NBCUniversal and the Equal Justice Initiative’s award-winning multimedia platform, Voices of the Civil Rights Movement, presents more than 16 hours of firsthand accounts, historical moments, and stories that honor the legacy and impact of America’s civil rights champions. Additionally, in February, Comcast’s Xfinity TV will celebrate Black History Month with a special, curated destination within Black Film & TV that focuses on a new generation of influencers and icons shaping the culture and issues facing the African-American community, as well as culturally specific TV and movie collections. And last year, NBC News and MSNBC launched the acclaimed documentary Hope & Fury: MLK, The Movement and The Media. Comcast customers can also watch the film for free on Xfinity On Demand by saying “Hope & Fury” into their X1 Voice Remote.
