Commissioned portrait of the Honorable Elijah E. Cummings for Johns Hopkins University!! /January 22, 2022 by Christopher Batten

Last summer, I was chosen by a panel consisting of JHU faculty, admin, students, and Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings to create a portrait of the late Congressman Elijah E. Cummings to be displayed permanently/prominently at the University’s Milton S. Eisenhower Library. The piece was unveiled on 1/20/2022 at Henderson Hopkins Elementary/Middle School. Explore the links below for several stories on the unveiling and other events to follow.
