Together by Don Rimx Tee

In 2020 the internationally renowned muralist Don Rimx came to Old Fort, NC to create a new installation of art on the side of a historic brick building (originally the town’s movie theater). His mural would commemorate the courage and persistence of a protest led by the Black children of the town to desegregate schools and register to attend school -- an event held years before the civil rights movement gained momentum.The Together by Don Rimx Tee was created in a collaboration of Kitsbow and Don, to celebrate not only the mural but also a renewed sense of shared purpose among the long-time residents of the town and more recent arrivals. Working together, sharing a home.Half of the profit of each shirt sold will be donated to People on the Move for Old Fort, the organization that spearheaded the mural project and a new documentary film about the mural and the history that led the town to this new start.
