Last night at Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York's opening of «Do Not Destroy,» California artist Sadie Barnette's first
solo exhibition
in New York City, Rodney Barnette stood
in between two large framed photographs of himself from nearly 50 years ago: one, dressed
in the uniform of the U.S. Army before he was sent to fight
in Vietnam, and after, outfitted
in the black turtleneck, black leather jacket, solidarity -
fist button, and black beret that were the de-facto uniform of the Black Panther Party, of whom he was once an organizer.
