History, To Make Their Own Way in the World: The Enduring  Legacy of the Zealy Daguerreotypes.  This book is a profound consideration of some of the most challenging images in the history of photography: fifteen daguerreotypes—men and women of African descent who were enslaved in South Carolina. The conversation will feature four extraordinary scholars; I lisa Barbash, Deborah Willis, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis. This important conversation will delve into the daguerreotypes that were made by photographer Joseph T. Zealy for Harvard professor Louis Agassiz in 1850 and were rediscovered at the Peabody Museum in 1976.
