MPAC honored the Coca-Cola company for its "America the Beautiful" Super Bowl commercial. Watch the commercial here. https://youtu.be/xYVu7tRXuoM "We wanted this commercial to feel very all-American. But what does that mean, exactly, to be all-American? It's really quite simple. It's you, it's me, it's our families, our friends, it's the wonderful faces that you see on the sidewalk every day. And these are the faces that needed to be in our Super Bowl commercial. I am proud to say that we felt it imperative that the Muslim community be represented in all of its glory." - Sarah Traverso, Head of Production and Agency Operations, the Coca-Cola Company ---------- Watch all videos from the 2017 MPAC Media Awards playlist. http://bit.ly/2r2DPfo Presented by the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) Hollywood Bureau.
