TL;DR

Harvard University will transfer 175-year-old photographs believed to be the earliest of enslaved people to a South Carolina museum, ending a 15-year legal battle with Tamara Lanier, who claims to be a descendant. The settlement includes relinquishing ownership of the images, which were taken without consent and used to support racist theories, and marks a significant moment in addressing historical injustices and reparations.
