I Am a Man! is a declaration of civil rights used as a personal statement and as a declaration of independence against oppression. During the Civil Rights Movement at the Memphis sanitation strike in 1968, "I AM A MAN!" signs were used as part of the protests for equal treatment.

Dr. Derek Ham's upcoming VR experience I AM A MAN challenges us to never forget the battles that had to be fought in order for many Americans to have civil liberties today. I AM A MAN drops you into the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike as one of the men who pushed for equality.

Virtual Reality is important and Dr. Derek Ham uses this tool to show us that we have a responsibility to never forget the history of those who fought long and hard for the freedoms we have today.
