哈佛在法律斗争后将1,850名受奴役者的daguerreo类型归还给查尔斯顿博物馆。 Harvard returns 1,850 enslaved people’s daguerreotypes to Charleston museum after legal fight.

经过七年的法律斗争,哈佛大学将1850年7名受奴役者(包括Renty及其女儿Delia)的daguerreo类型归还给南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的国际非洲美洲博物馆。 Harvard University has returned 1850 daguerreotypes of seven enslaved individuals—including Renty and his daughter Delia—to the International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina, after a seven-year legal battle. 这些照片是哈佛一名种族主义研究生物学家拍摄的,被用来为奴隶制辩护,并被哈佛长期持有,哈佛因未经证实的血统而拒绝返回。 The images, taken by a Harvard biologist for racist research, were used to justify slavery and long held by Harvard, which resisted their return due to unconfirmed lineage. 在2025年达成和解之后,Tamara Lanier提起了诉讼,他声称从Renty那里获得血缘关系,并称哈佛从这些照片的许可证中获利。 The settlement in 2025 followed a lawsuit by Tamara Lanier, who claims descent from Renty and argued Harvard profited from licensing the photos. 该博物馆位于Gadsden's Wharf, 将近一半受奴役非洲人抵达美国。 博物馆将保存原创作品, The museum, located at Gadsden’s Wharf—the site where nearly half of enslaved Africans arrived in the U.S.—will preserve the originals and display reproductions in an exhibit honoring the subjects’ lives. 返回被视为正义和历史清算的象征性行为。 The return is seen as a symbolic act of justice and historical reckoning.
