A judge ruled photos of enslaved individuals belong to Harvard, not their direct descendant elisfkc2 / Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0 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.
