ANTI-RACIST COLORING BOOK

America won’t become a Post-Racist society until after it becomes an Anti-Racist one.

That’s why I created my Anti-Racist Coloring Book. I’m destining it to be the one source in America (the world?) where the beauty, infinite possibilities of the Whole Amazing Human Spectrum is celebrated.

CAN THIS BUTTON END RACISM?

NO...BUT IT'S A START.

And a very good one. When I designed and produced this button a few months ago, I admit I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, how much can  3 inch button do?

Well, I found out. Hundreds of people have bought it. I've had people stop me on the street, the bus, the L-train and compliment me on its message. I tell them that if they really like it, and believe its message, they should buy it...and wear it.

Many have done just that. With a smile.


My pitch? I tell them the racists and white supremacists are not shy. They let everybody know what they believe. They dominate the newspapers, magazines, tv shows, the Internet and social media  with their hate for humans who don't look, act, believe and think exactly like them..

And most of us just sit around silent, hoping they'll go away.

So I created my "We're All Colored" button to show there are a lot more of US who believe in equality and the beauty of the whole amazing Human Spectrum than ones that don't.  But nobody knows it unless we show them.

Now I'm hoping that institutions, businesses, organizations, churches, non-profits and groups dedicated to human equality and justice will purchase "We're All Colored People" buttons and make them available to their members, employees and others. To find out more, just email me at Lowellt@hotmail.com.

Thanks.

CAN THIS BUTTON STOP RACISM?

NO...BUT IT'S A START.
And a very good one. When I designed and produced this button about a month ago, I must admit I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, how much can  3 inch button do?

Well, a lot actually. All kinds of folks are buying it. But you don't have to take my word for it. Go to my FaceBook page and you'll see them. These are just a few of the folks who've bought my "We're All Colored People" button. Others are shy.

But I tell them. the racists and white supremacists are not shy. They let everybody know what they believe. I created my button to show there are a lot more of US who believe in equality and the beauty of the whole amazing Human Spectrum. But nobody knows it unless we show them.

A COLORFUL HOLIDAY!

I've been working to get my "Some Of My Best Friends Are Colored" Human Coloring Book out by the holidays. Well I my Cover page is almost ready for prime time! You'll be able to get it with specially selected Human Colored Crayons soon. Please stand (or sit) by.

I'M BACK ON SOMBFAC!

For those of you who came to my "Some Of My Best Friends Are Colored" PoP-Up studio event last year, I've got some bad and some good news:

First, the bad news: Chicago Community Trust, which sponsored the great event last year at Emerald City Coffeehouse in Uptown, Chicago, decided not to sponsor it any further. Why? They told me someone(s) at CCT were afraid of the word "Colored". Someday, remind me to expound on this, but not now. I'm on to bigger and better things.

Now, the good news: After spending the last year working on other projects, including publishing my world-shaking ebook, "Branding Humans: Selling White Supremacy to America", I'm now back to my SOMBFAC project full-time. Look at the new logo I'm working on.  Please stay tuned as I develop the coloring book, a new pop-up event, an exhibition and who knows what else. I'm even looking for an app developer to turn it into a coloring book app. Any ideas?
