4th State to Ratify | Kansas | Jennifer Hudson, Artist
The Kansas stripe celebrates both women's suffrage and Kansans participation towards the cause.
The golden birds and the quote "we wage a peaceful war for equal suffrage" were appropriated from an original suffrage banner from the state. The state motto "Ad Astra per Aspera" featured on the right means "To the stars through difficulty" - applicable to both Kansas and the suffrage movement.
