Harvard transfers 175-year-old photos of enslaved people to museum, ending a 15-year legal battle.
Harvard University will transfer 175-year-old photos of enslaved people, believed to be the earliest taken, to the International African American Museum in South Carolina.
The photos, identified by descendant Tamara Lanier as her ancestors Renty and Delia, were taken in 1850.
This settlement ends a 15-year legal battle, where Lanier sued Harvard for "wrongful seizure, possession, and expropriation" of the images.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled in her favor in 2022.
The museum will work with Lanier on how to present the images' story.
