Fortnite today launched an event in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. In just a few days it will be the anniversary of Dr King’s iconic I Have A Dream Speech. The speech was delivered to more than 250,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on August 28, 1963.

The powerful words of Dr. King are one of the most iconic speeches in history and marked a defining moment for the civil rights moment.

The following year, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, and then the Voting Rights Act of 1965—another world-changing moment when Dr. King protested.

And leading up to Dr. King’s famous I Have A Dream Speech holds Fortnite a celebration of the iconic civil rights leader.

March Through Time is available in Fortnite Creative and immerses players in that crucial moment in time.

Fortnite players can explore a revamped version of DC in 1963, listen to the speech, and visit a museum that educates people about the civil rights movement.

In a message online, the Fortnite team said, “Celebrate the life and work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in a new interactive experience presented by TIME Studios. Developed by community members at Fortnite Creative, March Through Time immerses players in the entirety of Dr. King’s monumental ‘I Have A Dream’ speech and the history surrounding it.”

There will also be joint missions and an unlockable DC 63 spray available as part of the Fortnite MLK event.

March Through Time was built by members of the Fortnite Creative community ChaseJackman, GQuanoe, XWDFr, and YU7A.

You can enter this immersive experience with island code 3815-8892-143, or search for the March Through Time tile in the Discover Menu.

Epic Games added: “The experience expands with museum-inspired sights and collaborative mini-game quests that you complete with others. These activities help players through the experience and bring to life key themes of Dr. King’s speech: We move forward when we work together.

“Completing the challenges related to Dr. King and the Civil Rights movement will unlock a DC 63 spray for your Locker.”

This isn’t the first time Epic Games has had an educational experience in Fortnite.

Last year, Epic Games held the We The People event in Fortnite – which focused on conversations about racing in America.

This came in the wake of George Floyd’s assassination, which sparked protests around the world led by the Black Lives Matter movement and – tragically – sparked again talks about police brutality against African Americans in the US.
