Welcome to OldFortTogether.org, celebrating two important events in Old Fort’s struggle for racial justice, and the ongoing work to preserve that history so that it can inspire and inform our ongoing work for a more equitable community and a better world.

In 2020, People on the Move in Old Fort gathered a group of community members to produce a mural in the center of town, honoring local history that contributed to our national struggle for civil rights. The mural was painted by artist Don Rimx in the fall of 2020, and a short documentary about the project was released in early 2021, produced by John Kennedy and David Saich.

If you would like to see the mural and the documentary and learn more about their creators, dig deeper into the history they preserve, and learn how to support this community effort and other projects like it, you have come to the right place.

Welcome.
