Brown v. Board Mural
Legacy & Vision
This mural explores themes of equality and justice through the eyes of young people in our community.
Kansas City Artist Michael Toombs directed the painting of the 130' x 30' wall along with a team of artists and members of the community.
The Brown V. Board mural focuses on themes of diversity, equality, justice and inclusion, offering an opportunity to involve students and neighbors in the design and painting of the mural under the creative direction of Kansas City Artist Michael Toombs.
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ANNETTE BILLINGS AND HER WORK AS IT HELPED TO FURTHER DEFINE THE THEME OF THIS PROJECT.
