“Our Kids, Our Future”

The final set of 100 portraits by local photographer
Kevin Poirier reflecting Kenosha’s racial diversity on the
faces of Frank and Southport elementary school
students was pasted up recently on a spacious lot in the
downtown district.

Kenosha Creative Space’s Francisco Loyola and Steve
Hawkins worked for two days hanging the 24 x 36 prints
provided by the University of Wisconsin – Parkside on
the side of a building at 5811 6th Ave.

Poirier was struck by the kids’ lack of awareness or
concern about their racial identity. They just saw
themselves as kids. Loyola says he truly believes these
kids are Kenosha’s future and wondered which one will
be our next Mayor. Our future is even harder to predict
these days, which makes looking at these portraits a joy.

Check them out.
