The resolution honors Michael Young for his exceptional contributions as an artist and proud native of Kansas, particularly highlighting his creation of the Brown v. Board of Education mural. This mural is celebrated as a significant artwork within the Kansas Capitol, serving as a powerful reminder of the state's commitment to justice and equality. It visually represents the landmark Supreme Court case that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, marking a crucial moment in the civil rights movement.

The resolution acknowledges the importance of the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, which was a pivotal step in the fight for civil rights and reflects Kansas' historical role as a "free state" since its admission to the Union in 1861. The Senate of the State of Kansas expresses its gratitude to Michael Young for his artistic talent and dedication, and the resolution will be formally sent to him and Senator Klemp.
