Harvard Profits From Photos Of Slaves, Lawsuit Claims

The enslaved man’s name was Renty.

His image adorns the cover of a Harvard publication that the university sells for $40.

Tamara Lanier says “Papa Renty” is the patriarch of her family.

And in a lawsuit filed Wednesday, she says Harvard is using those photos without permission —

and in so doing, profiting from photos taken by a racist professor determined to prove the inferiority of black people.
