Shepard Fairey, the artist who created the now-iconic 2008 “Hope” poster of Barack Obama for the future president’s first campaign, on Thursday unveiled his depiction of Vice President Kamala Harris, seen in blue and white above the word “Forward.” Like Obama, Harris is looking up and to her left. In releasing his latest work of art, Fairey cited with approval what has become one of the Harris campaign’s slogans: “We are not going back.” “These words from Kamala Harris summarize the moment we are in, and in order not to go back, we must go FORWARD!” Fairey wrote in a statement on his website, which included a voter registration link. Fairey added that he was not paid to produce it, writing, “I created this work purely in pursuit of a better future.” Fairey did not create a similar piece for either Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign or Joe Biden’s four years later. During Donald Trump’s campaign against Clinton, Fairey depicted him in the style of Big Brother from George Orwell’s novel, 1984.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
