Chapter 17, Richmond, "Kansas and the Arts"

Kansas has had many great playwrites, artists, and writers. We are a state that is expressive in our ideas and people are willing to showcase their abilities. By doing this we show other peoples that we are not a bunch of backwards hicks . I can associate many of the things mentioned in the chapter. Including the Little Blue Books (I have some), and I have helped with the William Inge Festival at Independence Community College. This chapter would be the easiest to have the kids associate with because they have heard of many of these people all of their lives.
