Can anyone give detailed information about the girl in the photo "Guns and Flowers"

This is the classic moment when 17-year-old Jan Rose Kasmir used flowers to fight guns.

Don’t ask me for her detailed information. You must also know that she is famous because of Marc Riboud’s photography.

You can understand the historical background of this incident:

On October 21, 1967, thousands of demonstrators shouted slogans and rushed towards the Pentagon, making the U.S. Congress in Washington A peaceful rally against the Vietnam War turned violent. Thousands of demonstrators from all over the United States flocked to Washington, the capital, and gathered in front of the Lincoln Monument. They held placards such as "Withdraw the troops immediately", "Abolish the conscription system" and "We will not go to Vietnam (to fight)". In the afternoon, a rally attended by more than 100,000 demonstrators was held to strongly condemn the war of aggression against Vietnam carried out by the Johnson administration and the conscription system.

After the meeting, the demonstrators sang anti-war songs and chanted slogans against aggressive wars, and marched towards the Pentagon, where the U.S. Department of Defense is located. Demonstrators surrounded the Ministry of Defense building and stormed the building. They clashed with military police armed with various weapons, and some people even rushed into the Pentagon and fought with military police in the corridors. Soldiers and federal law enforcement officers guarding the Pentagon, armed with rifles and bayonets, formed a cordon to prevent the demonstrators from attacking. However, the demonstrators still bravely attacked the police cordon, and the security personnel had no choice but to use batons and rifle butts to hit the demonstrators. Hundreds of people were arrested at the demonstrations, including novelist Mailer and rally organizer Dellinger, chairman of the National Organizing Committee to End the Vietnam War. The large-scale violence gradually subsided at night, with only a few hundred people protesting at key locations.

During this anti-war march, Jane Ross, a 17-year-old girl who was fostered in Maryland, appeared. She walked into the protest as soon as she got off the bus, and finally faced a gun and live ammunition. of military police.

She believed that although the army was a war machine, the soldiers were all human beings with flesh and blood and emotions. She tried to persuade the soldiers to give up their war ideas. Later, she stood in front of the heavily armed military police with flowers in hand. The historical moment was frozen by Mark Riboud.

Oh, that’s roughly it. If you really want to check this girl’s information, the most influential one recently was February 15, 2003, 36 years after the anti-war march in Washington. In London, Jane participated in the London March against the Iraq War. Standing under a photo of herself from that year, she once again asserted her anti-war stance and desire for peace. It is worth mentioning that Macrube was right next to her during this parade.
