Kansas Rep. Marvin Robinson II, who fought to preserve Quindaro Ruins, dies at 67

His career was also marked by other issues. He backed bills to abolish the death penalty, make Juneteenth a state holiday and release inmates convicted on marijuana charges.

His north star in office was securing funding for the Quindaro Ruins. The ruins were a stop on the underground railroad that fell into disrepair, so much so that they were almost turned into a landfill.

Preserving the historical site would have been the crown jewel of his time in office. LTC Kevin B.
