Following the attacks on September 11, many people have looked to art, in all its forms, for consolation.
 Did any piece of art help comfort you following the attacks?
Jean Holabird of Cambridge painted "10-3 - Murrary and Greenwich, 3 p.m.," a watercolor scene from Ground Zero. Many artists responded visually to the September 11 attacks.

As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
we became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs
of the burning building,
we became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
we became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers
fought their way into the inferno
we became one gender.
As we fell to our knees
in prayer for strength,
we became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
we spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
we became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss
we became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss,
we became one soul.
As we retell with pride
of the sacrifice of the heroes
we become one people.
We are
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people.
