Apple cofounder Steve Jobs was the biological son of a Syrian immigrant, and the anonymous street artist known as Banksy is using that piece of history to bring attention to the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis.
Banksy has posted photos of Jobs holding the original Macintosh and a sack over his shoulder at the Jungle refugee camp in Calais, a large migrant camp in western Europe.
The depiction is pretty powerful, especially amidst the dirt and tents refugees are currently living in.
You can find more images on Banksy's website.
Jobs's biological father was Abdul Fattah Jandali, who grew up in Homs, Syria, before fleeing to the US in the 1950s. Jobs was put up for adoption as a baby and admitted to never having a close relationship with Jandali, but the connection between one of the greatest American businessman of all time and a Syrian refugee is still powerful.
This tweet of Jobs with the caption "A Syrian migrants' child" previously went viral on Twitter and currently has over 15,000 retweets:
