A shattered glass portrait of Vice President Harris meant to depict her glass-ceiling shattering career was erected on the National Mall in Washington, D.C this week.

Groups seeking to memorialize Harris's historic achievement of becoming the first Black and Asian American woman to hold the office of vice president in the United States unveiled the portrait, which is 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide, in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Thursday.

“This will just be a wonderful visual emblem of this moment in time and hopefully people will reflect a little bit on all the barriers that have been broken by her election,” Holly Hotchner, president and CEO of the National Women's History Museum, a co-sponsor of the project, told The Associated Press.

Harris has broken barriers not only as vice president, but also as the first woman and person of color to serve as district attorney of San Francisco and the first Black person to serve as California's attorney general and to represent the state in the Senate.

7. This is such a moving tribute, and it will be

a memorial to inspire generations to come. Now, I'd like to see V.P. Harris's press secretary give briefings on what she is doing to advance causes of her own as well as President Biden's agenda. I understand that she might not want to compete with the President, but she has been advertised as an equal partner in the administration. She needs to let us here her voice. Doing so will inform us, encourage us, and inspire the women this memorial is intended to inspire. (Not that inspiring women is its only purpose.)
