VR for Good

Traveling While Black

This virtual reality project portrays the era Williams, now 60, was born into in 1962, when the set of laws and customs known as Jim Crow were omnipresent across the American South.

Traveling While Black is a cinematic VR experience that immerses the viewer in the long history of restriction of movement for black Americans and the creation of safe spaces in our communities. Confronting the way we understand and talk about race in America, Traveling While Black highlights the urgent need to remember the past but and facilitate a dialogue about the challenges minority travelers still face today.
