Day of Days

In 1958, Martin Luther King, Jr. was stabbed in the chest by a deranged woman, Izola Curry. He survived the attack, but something inside him wasn’t healing. An old family friend, Black mystic Howard Thurman, spent hours talking with King in the hospital. It was a conversation that changed King’s life and the course of the Civil Rights Movement. This AR experience uses photogrammetric scans of real life historic locations to explore the life of Thurman and how he helped King confront his turmoil, find a new approach to non-violent organization and create a place where the violence and pressures of the movement couldn’t harm him. It was a conversation that changed a man and a movement.
