100% Over Racism.

Lovar Kidd, a dance instructor and freelance choreographer in Cedar Rapids, watched most of his work disappear when the Covid-19 pandemic hit Iowa in March.

But a fresh idea struck him after he marched in a Black Lives Matter protest with a sign that explained his identity and outlook: “50 percent black, 50 percent white, 100 percent over racism.” When his brother joked that Kidd should print that on a T-shirt, that’s exactly what he did.

He used a portion of his grant to start an online T-shirt business — 100percentoverracism.com — and is donating all of the proceeds to the African American Museum of Iowa (https://blackiowa.org/) in Cedar Rapids during the month of June, and to The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success (https://www.theacademysps.com/)

“We sold 200 shirts in the first two and a half weeks,” he said. “When the cause is right, people respond.” — Michael Morain, Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs

The social justice conversation has always been important to our family. Since the George Floyd incident, the conversation has taken to the world wide stage. A local artist, L.D. Kidd , started printing products to help communicate our feelings about the charged topic. Through this project, he has also helped to raise money for the African American Museum of Iowa and our local Social Advocacy Group. Well done, LD. We like the way you spark!
