Designates November24th each year as "Frankie Muse Freeman Day" in Missouri

HB 2796 designates November 24th each year as "Frankie Muse Freeman Day" in Missouri to honor her civil rights legacy. The bill commemorates Frankie Muse Freeman, a St. Louis attorney who 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. This is a ceremonial designation with no new legal requirements or funding impacts. It encourages Missourians to participate in events celebrating her contributions.
