SL95 Virtual Exhibit

The Sugar Land 95 is a historic cemetery where 95 individuals were buried, believed to be a part of a convict-leasing program that began in the late 1800s. This site was discovered during the construction of the James Reese Career and Technical Center. The Sugar Land 95 Virtual Exhibit is an FBISD-wide student-led project that aims to memorialize the horrors of the convict leasing system by taking visitors on a tour through the lives of the laborers. The main features of the project include a website containing the virtual exhibit and multiple immersive levels organized in a game-like fashion that detail the daily lives of the convict laborers and the brutality of segregation and the convict leasing system.
