The resolution honors Michael Young for his exceptional contributions as an artist and his dedication to the state of Kansas. It specifically recognizes his work on the Brown v. Board of Education mural, which is celebrated as one of the most admired artworks in the Kansas Capitol. The mural not only captures the historical significance of the landmark Supreme Court case that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional but also serves as a powerful visual representation of progress and a catalyst for discussions about civil rights.

The resolution emphasizes Kansas' historical role in the fight for civil rights, dating back to its status as a "free state" in 1861. By honoring Michael Young, the House of Representatives acknowledges the importance of his artistic contributions in promoting justice and equality, as well as the state's ongoing commitment to these values.
