"'King understood how photographers and newspaper journalists could help advance his ideas,' says Cox. So when King organized a boycott of Montgomery's bus system, the press was there when Parks was arrested for helping. Later, Look magazine re-created Parks' bus ride, which, ironically, people remember. It was even used in Apple's 'think different' advertising campaign."
