Thomas was the first graduate of Howard\u2019s fine arts program, also Harris\u2019 alma mater, and a ground-breaking Black artist. A piece of hers, \u201cResurrection,\u201d was the first work by a Black woman to be displayed in the White House collection in 2014, according to information provided by Harris\u2019 office.<\/p>\n<p>To the right of her desk hangs a striking black and white portrait of Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court justice who as an attorney won the landmark case&nbsp;<em>Brown v. Board of Education<\/em>&nbsp;desegregating schools. It\u2019s positioned in a way that looks almost as if Marshall is looking over Harris\u2019 shoulder when she works.<\/p>\n<p>The painting is on loan from Howard University Gallery and by artist Eddie Fontno, also an alumnus of Howard. Harris has long paid homage to Marshall, keeping a bust of him in her Senate office and at her more-photographed ceremonial office across the street from the White House in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"id__gnzz886bkm\" class=\"css-1dbjc4n r-1wbh5a2 r-dnmrzs r-1ny4l3l\">\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n r-1awozwy r-18u37iz r-dnmrzs\" readability=\"7.6016597510373\">\n<div class=\"css-901oao r-1fmj7o5 r-xoduu5 r-18u37iz r-1q142lx r-37j5jr r-a023e6 r-16dba41 r-rjixqe r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" dir=\"auto\" readability=\"10.452282157676\">Harris\u2019s new office decorations come after months of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/05\/shes-fcked-kamala-harris-undergoes-frenzied-office-turnover\/\">backstabbing<\/a> leaks from angry staffers within her office.&nbsp;Due to the reported office disfunction, four staffers have&nbsp;announced they have left or will leave before the end of the year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Harris has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/12\/04\/kamala-harris-staff-523732\">defended<\/a> by some who suggest the vice president has been a victim of media scrutiny because of her Jamaican and Indian heritage.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s just a different level of scrutiny and a different level of coverage,\u201d the source told&nbsp;<em>Politico<\/em>. \u201cThat goes back to the original discussion about how the team can construct the office in a way that helps meet those demands of the press corps in this press environment<i>.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Wendell Huseb\u00f8 on Twitter&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WendellHusebo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\"><em>@WendellHuseb\u00f8<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Kamala Harris in recent days has reset her White House office with civil rights era art, new couches, and wall paint.
