Silent Parade Protest March | Moment of History - 3D Environment Demo

SILENT PARADE is a digital recreation of the groundbreaking civil rights demonstration in New York City on July 28, 1917. On this day, ten thousand people—men, women, and children—marched silently down Fifth Avenue in New York City to call for anti-lynching legislation and to protest racial violence in the United States. The march was organized by the NAACP and local community leaders, and was attended by prominent activists like W. E. B. Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson. Taking place four decades before the start of the modern Civil Rights Movement, the Silent Parade was one of the first large-scale organized protests against racial violence in the United States, helping to increase the NAACP’s visibility and set the stage for further civil rights activism.

ABOUT EX LIBRIS
Ex Libris aims to recreate moments of history in an accurate and engaging format. By using virtual reality technology, viewers are fully immersed in these experiences, allowing them to truly “witness history."
COMMITMENT TO ACCURACY
We at Ex Libris pride ourselves on the extensive research conducted for each of our projects in order to make them as historically accurate as possible. By working with the leading experts in the relevant fields, consulting as many physical and online sources as are available (such as university research libraries and state archives), and sorting through thousands of reference images, we try our best to deliver as accurate a product as possible. However, conflicting sources and scant information are challenges that we inevitably face, as are the limited visual details for many historical events that either pre-date the widespread use of photography or are unfortunately lost to history. We are always looking to improve the historical accuracy of each of our experiences and are committed to making necessary changes in future versions if warranted.
