Allston

Roughly 1,200 people showed up for the three-day event, which also featured a mural installation by Allston.

Another memorable piece at the showcase is a large scale painting by Allston, a Chicago-born, New Orleans-based artist, which depicts two people in a row boat crossing rocky waters with the words “The River Carried Me to You” written along the top.

“It sounds pretty daunting, doesn’t it?” said Darlene Allston, a top local official.

“The Native population is almost nonexistent on the campus, so we’re hoping this will let people know we’re here and we exist,” said Ayden Allston, president of the Native American Student Union and a member of the Nottoway Indian tribe of Virginia.

Harrison referred to another example in which a Black security guard in uniform was carrying a licensed gun and speaking with a white woman at the corner of Allston Way and Bonar after a Berkeley Youth Assn. ceremony.
