The Pentagon press secretary confirmed the portrait was moved to a different location – only after The Atlantic contacted them for comment before the story ran. The original wall stayed empty.

Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.
James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.
Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.
