We Are All One

The “We Are All One” murals honor the Allen Subdivision and depict “a story about the Allen community past, present, and future.” The act of mother and daughter working together reinforced the recurring Allen themes of family, collaboration and celebrating beauty where you can. In that same spirit, community members and local leaders were invited to literally make their mark on the murals.

The Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency’s History and Culture Trail (HCT) project seeks to recognize and honor the historical contributions and cultural impact of the communities adjacent to the FAMU Way Corridor, an east-west roadway from South Monroe Street to Lake Bradford Road. In partnership with the Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency, COCA sought public art proposals that celebrate the rich history and culture of the areas surrounding the Capital Cascades Trail and FAMU Way Extension projects.
