San Diego City College, located on unceded Kumeyaay land, hosted a land acknowledgment and celebration of local Kumeyaay people on Jan. 31, bringing students, faculty, staff and local community members together on a cloudless San Diego afternoon.

Amidst the buzzing lights and echoing voices of the AH Building garage, a colorful merging of past and present greets drivers heading to classes at San Diego City College. The first of the garage murals to be completed was designed by Kumeyaay artist and former City student Kenneth Banks.
