Gone a decade or so ago after an update to the environmental system, the face of Martin Luther King Jr.'s face once emanated from the surface of Second Life's virtual sun on this day of the year, to celebrate the civil rights icon's birthday:
In honor of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., a special sun is made to arc across the grid of Second Life today. If you look close enough, you'll see it's inset with the face of the man who was so untimely cut down, when far too much of his work remained. In his country, the world beyond, and, perhaps, in worlds he never could have imagined.
It's more than likely that Linden Lab the developer who added it no longer works at the company, and just as likely that none of the developers now working for the company even remember that it did. But it's worth remembering today, and everyday, in hopes this special sun is brought back again.
