This virtual experience of the Pauli Murray Center was made possible with support from Iron Mountain's Living Legacy initiative. In 2024, CyArk traveled to North Carolina to complete the 3D documentation of the Pauli Murray Center, collaborating closely with staff to compile audio and video interviews to be used in the experience. Special thanks to Rosita Stevens-Holsey, Dr. Anthony B. Pinn, Jesse Huddleston, Amy Waltz-Reasonover, and the Pauli Murray Center staff for lending their voices and expertise to this project.
