Fortnite has announced March Through Time, a new interactive experience built within the game's Creative Mode in collaboration with Time Magazine.

The experience recreates locations in Washington DC, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the iconic I Have a Dream speech almost 60 years ago this week.

Exploring March Through Time will let you listen to the speech in full, and visit museum exhibit-like areas of interest with further historical detail on the US civil rights movement.

On the one hand, it's jarring to see Fishstick and co. involved in such an exhibition. On the other, this is far from the first time Fortnite has played host to serious content. Last year, Fortnite's no-combat Party Royale mode broadcast a series of programmes on combating racism and voter suppression.

Time Magazine hired various creators to work on the mode, and sought contributions from the DuSable Museum of African American History, as well as the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr.

Spend time exploring the new experience and complete its various objectives and you'll gain an in-game "D.C. '63" cosmetic spray. You can find it with island code 3815-8892-143, or via the March Through Time tile in the Discover Menu.

They should also host Malcolm X’s lesser known I Had a Really Weird Dream Last Night Speech.

There goes Fortnite virtue signaling again... wonder if they disabled tomatoes for this event?

MLK was a degenerate, he was basically the Dick Masterson of his day, the only reason he was for equality and trad bullshit was so he could stick his thumb up white ladies asses.

Hopefully zoomers hear this and wonder "Wait then why are people hating white people if MLK said to not hate anyone based on skin color?"

I know it is opimistic but I do hope this unintentionally redpills some zoomers.

Malcolm X was better

 

[Bland Crumbs]

Malcolm X was better

Malcom X is better purely based on the end of his life. He goes to Mecca, learns that The Nation of Islam's version of Islam is batshit insane, realizes white people are not quite as bad as he believed because they probably were not created by an evil scientist, and as a result The Nation of Islam murdered him in public.

the Nation of Islam has gotta be the peak of cope for niggers. Even in their own power fantasies, they get outsmarted and enslaved

When we doing W. E. B. Du Bois?

 

[CWCissey]

I think the famous speech that applies the most to Fortnite was the one made by Enoch Powell...

 

[Judge Holden]

Meh, we already have had entire games based on the Martin Luther King experience....

Dick Masterson isn't Dick Masterson because he's a degenerate, but because he's too stupid to hide his degeneracy.

I wish MLK was still alive and on twitter, defending Cuties.

A noble cause.

Seriously speaking, though, he was pretty liberal, even by modern standards. Despite being a Baptist (IIRC) reverend, he denied the divinity of Jesus in one of his theological papers as part of emphasizing His value to the "social gospel". I believe it was his wife that indicated that they were raring to advocate for things like gay marriage and abortion "reproductive rights".

What, was he an Electric Prunes fan?

If I played Fortnite I'd be camping nearby with a sniper for this entire event.

 

[X Pac Heat]

I find the fact it's presented by Time within Fortnite to be fucking hilarious. Print Media truly is fucked.

When we doing W. E. B. Du Bois?

Fuck Dubois, he was the original gibsmedat.

I wholeheartedly hope based zoomers trash this event like they did the BLM one.
