The Pickrick Protest is a project commemorating the 1964-1965 Pickrick incidents in which a few African Americans fought for equal rights. “Pickrick” refers to the name of the restaurant owned by Lester Maddox, a former governor of Georgia and staunch segregationist, who notoriously refused to provide service to black people despite the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Located on Hemphill Avenue, the building was later bought by Georgia Tech (GT) for student services. During the Pickrick incidents, several confrontations occurred between the restaurant owner, patrons, and several non-violent black protestors. As the activists peacefully attempted to enter the locale, they were faced with the violent threats and actions of white segregationists wielding axe handles, guns and baseball bats. The Pickrick building no longer stands, having been replaced by  GT’s new student center. To do these important historical stories justice, our team has rejected the traditional use of engraved commemorative plates for a vivid and exciting new form of media to highlight the events of the past. In considering several immersive media experiences, we deemed AR most appropriate for our needs due to its geolocation features and its interactive reality enhancement capabilities.
