Tamara Lanier has filed a lawsuit seeking an unspecified amount of damages and calling on the university to release the images to her
A WOMAN is suing Harvard University for ‘profiting from photographs of slaves’, who she claims are her ancestors.
Tamara Lanier, a former probation officer, has said that the institution is “perpetuating the systematic subversion of black property rights”.
In a lawsuit filed in Massachusetts on Wednesday, March 20, Lanier states that she wants Harvard to acknowledge her genetic lineage and give the photographs to her and her family.
Lanier claims that she is the great-great-great granddaughter of Renty, but it is not known whether she is able to prove this.
