The resolution honors Michael Young, a talented artist and proud native of Kansas, for his significant contributions to the state, particularly through his creation of the Brown v. Board of Education mural. This mural is recognized as one of the most admired artworks in the Kansas Capitol, serving as a powerful visual representation of the landmark Supreme Court case that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Young's work not only highlights Kansas' historical commitment to justice and equality but also acts as a catalyst for important discussions surrounding civil rights.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, which marked a monumental step in the civil rights movement and reinforced the principles of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. By honoring Michael Young, the Senate of the State of Kansas acknowledges his creativity and dedication in capturing the essence of this pivotal moment in history, while also recognizing Kansas' longstanding role as a leader in the fight for civil rights since its admission as a "free state" in 1861. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to both Michael Young and Senator Klemp.
