Astonishing VR experience lets participants experience a dangerous border crossing

The Civil Rights Museum in Atlanta has a lunch counter sit in simulation that lasts less than 2 minutes. It’s VERY rough, they warn against people under 13 doing it and have a docent there to talk about the experience and help people with it. I’m a 53 year old white man and I’m tearing up a little just thinking about it. The 30 something black guy who was the docent told me it took him 3 tries to get through the entire thing.
