Honoring Michael Young for his outstanding work and contribution to our state as a talented artist and proud Kansas native.
This Senate resolution honors Michael Young, a Kansas native and artist, for creating the Brown v. Board of Education mural displayed on the Kansas Capitol tour. The bill formally recognizes his contribution to preserving the history of civil rights through this specific artwork, which depicts the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case that ended racial segregation in public schools. By passing this resolution, the Senate acknowledges the mural's role in educating the public about the state's commitment to justice and equality. The final step of the process involves sending official copies of the resolution to both Michael Young and Senator Klemp.
