Penn & Slavery AR Walking Tours on Juneteenth
The augmented reality (AR) tour of Penn’s campus investigates the institution's historic ties to slavery.
Presented by The Penn Experience course and the Penn & Slavery Project
The augmented reality (AR) tour of Penn’s campus is the first of its kind among peer institutions that are investigating their historic ties to slavery. The app takes users on a tour of slavery's legacy at Penn in six stops, each telling a story through an AR experience. The app was created by an interdisciplinary team of historians, librarians, developers, and designers.
Download the app for your phone ahead of time.
Tours will begin at the Ben Franklin statue in front of College Hall.
