52 for 150: What’s So Special About Dean Mitchell?

52 for 150: What’s So Special About Dean Mitchell?

It’s week six, and to kick off Black History Month we’re taking a closer look at artist, Dean Mitchell.

Every object has a story, and stories build history. To celebrate 150 years of Kansas statehood we’re featuring 52 objects (or collections of related objects)-something new every Monday throughout the year-from the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library’s 130-year-old special, and permanent collections, that represent our collective state history and cultural diversity. Your library’s commitment to collecting art and preserving local history makes it possible for users today and in the future to have immediate access to invaluable research material and cultural artifacts.
