that included multiple figures—from his celebrated 1936WPA Harlem Hospital and 1949 Golden
State Mutual Life Insurance Company murals to the lesser known 1957
Our Constitution
at City
College of New York. By 1976, Alston completed two mosaic murals,
Equal Justice Under the Law
and
The Family of Man
, for the Bronx County Family and Criminal Court buildings with much
more abstract figures.
