On the sign:
Farewell San Miguel, splendid with your harvested fields Where Angela de Trejo leaves her misty eyes.
Adiós San Miguel, lucido con sus milpas y rastrojos Donde deja Angela de Trejo empañados sus ojos.
-Angela de Trejo, upon leaving her native village for Alta California in 1776; translated by Antonio Mantilla Sanchez
Berkeley’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
In the current plaque there is a quote from Angela de Trejo when she moved with her family from San Miguel, Mexico to Alta, California
