Visitors to The March at The DuSable will be invited to experience a groundbreaking immersive exhibit, enabling audiences of all ages to travel back in time to the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, in virtual reality. Visitors will enter into a fully interactive recreation of that historic moment in the Civil Rights Movement—becoming one of the 250,000-plus people who came to protest in Washington, D.C., that day, and witnessing firsthand King’s iconic “I Have A Dream” speech.

“Chicago has always been an epicenter of civil rights leadership. To be able to experience Dr. King’s 1963 March on Washington in this state-of-the-art virtual reality exhibit is an amazing opportunity, especially for our young people to connect with the civil rights movement and inspire our ongoing pursuit of social and racial justice,” says Perri L. Irmer, President & CEO of the DuSable Museum.
