Joseph Rainey, the first African-American Member of Congress, is depicted in this posthumous portrait overlooking the National Mall and the unfinished Washington Monument. The unfinished monument, like Rainey’s service in the House, illustrates the continual development of democracy in America.
Oil on canvas, Simmie Knox, 2005, Collection of U.S. House of Representatives
