In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
In Flanders FieldS
The poem In Flanders Fields was written by Canadian physician Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae during WWI. It has inspired the use of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance Day.
In the spring of 1915, shortly after losing a friend, McCrae wrote his now famous poem after seeing poppies growing in battle-scarred fields.

In spite of her negative experiences linked to discrimination, she does not focus on the negative, but rather captures positive moments from her childhood. She has lived in San Francisco since 1976.
Carmen Lomas Garza has dedicated her life to art since she was thirteen years old. Born in Kingsville, TX, in 1948, she comes from a family of Mexican origin. She felt the effects of discrimination growing up. She was punished for speaking Spanish in school and segregated for being Mexican American. As a result, she made the decision to develop Mexican American culture through her art. During the Chicano (Mexican American) movement of the 1960’s, she began to pay attention to family traditions.
