Designates November 24th each year as "Frankie Muse Freeman Day" in Missouri

HB 1203 proposes designating November 24th each year as "Frankie Muse Freeman Day" in Missouri. The bill honors Frankie Muse Freeman, a St. Louis attorney who championed civil rights, won a landmark case ending racial discrimination in St. Louis public housing, and became the first Black woman appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events celebrating her legacy. As a ceremonial resolution, the bill does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes her contributions to civil rights.
