Harvard owns slave photos, not descendants, says court


12-09-2016
Harvard University is the rightful owner of photos of enslaved individuals, a US court has ruled in a lawsuit that accused the institution of illegally and “shamelessly” profiting from the images.
The decision was handed down on Wednesday, March 3, at the Massachusetts Superior Court in Massachusetts.
‘Complicit in justifying slavery’
In 2019, Tamara Lanier sued the university, demanding that it return the images to her family, pay unspecified damages to her and acknowledge that it was “complicit in perpetuating and justifying the institution of slavery”.
According to the lawsuit, the images depict her family's ancestors, two South Carolina slaves identified as Renty and his daughter, Delia, who were forced to pose shirtless in 1850. They were photographed by a Harvard professor, biologist Louis Agassiz, to support the now-discredited theory that Africans and African-Americans were inferior to white people.

FILE - In this July 17, 2018, photo, Tamara Lanier holds an 1850 photograph at her home in Norwich, Conn., of a South Carolina slave named Renty, who Lanier said is her family's patriarch. The portrait was commissioned by Harvard biologist Louis Agassiz, whose ideas were used to support the enslavement of Africans in the United States. In March 2019, Lanier filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts state court demanding that Harvard turn over the photo and pay damages. In March 2021, a Massachusetts Superior Court judge dismissed the suit.

A judge ruled photos of enslaved individuals belong to Harvard, not their direct descendant

A woman who says she is the direct descendant of a man and woman pictured in some of the earliest known photographs of enslaved people does not have a property interest in the images, now owned by Harvard University, a Massachusetts judge ruled Tuesday.
Tamara Lanier, 58, took Harvard to court in March 2019 for “wrongful seizure, possession and expropriation” of the images, arguing her great-great-great grandfather Renty and his daughter Delia “remain enslaved” by the university.
“Fully acknowledging the continuing impact slavery has had in the United States, the law as it currently stands, does not confer a property interest to the subject of a photograph regardless of how objectionable the photograph’s origins may be,” Justice Camille Sarrouf wrote in an order dismissing the case in Middlesex County Superior Court.
