Topeka Metro bus wrap celebrates 65th anniversary of Brown v. Board

A Topeka Metro bus is being transformed into a moving mural that will celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court case.

The bus wrap features artwork from the Brown v. Board mural that was completed this past summer on the south side of a building at S.E. 15th and Monroe. The mural’s location is across the street from the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site.

Work on applying the Brown v. Board bus wrap was taking place on Tuesday morning in a maintenance facility at the Topeka Transit location at 201 N. Kansas Ave. Topeka Metro officials said the wrap was made possible by a grant from ArtsConnect, which coordinated the work on the Brown v. Board mural last year. Topeka Metro has requested sponsorships to keep the bus wrapped for two years.
