Abstract

Achieving racial justice requires that we understand racism. One may espouse beliefs of racial justice and equality, but fail to truly understand the nature of racial inequality. In this immersive virtual reality experience, the viewer becomes Michael, a black man, encountering racism as a young child, adolescent, and young adult.
