FRIDAY, FEB. 28
UPDATES WITH SEXUAL MISCONDUCT-WEINSTEIN, BRITAIN-PRINCE HARRY, POLAND-JEWISH MUSEUM
KING-VIRTUAL REALITY - A high-tech museum exhibit is offering a first-person view of Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic March on Washington speech. The exhibit that opens Friday in Chicago lets visitors use virtual reality technology to stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial next to a three-dimensional King as he delivers his "I Have a Dream Speech." The intimate exhibit — only four people can view it at a time — has the full backing from King's estate, which closely guards his likeness and speeches. The exhibit's creators, from TIME Studios and a production company run by actress Viola Davis, hope the temporary exhibit will be replicated in museums nationwide. By Sophia Tareen.
