IN THIS ISSUE I traveled along Milita Drive in southeast Jefferson City, looking forward to meeting with the artist Essex Garner, a veteran of both the US military and the Missouri National Guard. Essex's two-dimensional image participates in a visual dialogue with the three-dimensional sculpture, which depicts the Civil War veterans of the 62nd and 65th Colored Infantries. The Kansas City reenactors preserve the legacy of these military pioneers, and like Essex, many are veterans who see the Buffalo Soldiers as their too-often-forgotten forebears.
