I am doing a Facebook page on Martin Luther King, and i need something that was advertised during the 1960s during MLK's time. Thanks

1960's cars, breakfast cereals, Polaroid cameras, Revlon beauty products, etc. Basically, the same things that are advertised today (but not computers, etc.)

FYI, his full name was Martin Luther King, Jr.

Cigarettes - esp. The Marlboro Man; Booze; Speedy, the Alka-Seltzer boy; Cracker Jacks; Saturday Morning Cartoons; Anti-pollution ads - like the one with the Indian with the tear in his eye after seeing how the white man had destroyed the rivers and landscapes with sewage and litter; lava lamps; Mystery Date, a popular teen girls game; Trouble (another game - "pop-a-matic, pop the dice, pop a 6 and you move twice!").

Then there was this anti-litter campaign with two girls walking along picking up small pieces of paper on the sidewalk and someone in the background singing this song:

"One by one, two by two,"
"One by one, two by two,"
"One by one, two by two."
"Put a little love in all you do."

"One by one, two by two,"
"One by one, two by two,"
"One by one, two by two" and fade.

That's what I remember of the 1960's commercials.
