Tamara Lanier attends a news conference near the Harvard Club Wednesday, March 20, 2019, in New York. Lanier, who says she's descended from slaves portrayed in widely-published, historical photos owned by Harvard, can sue the Ivy League university for emotional distress, Massachusetts' highest court ruled Thursday June 23, 2022. The state's Supreme Judicial Court partly vacated a lower court ruling that dismissed a complaint from Tamara Lanier over photos she says depict her enslaved ancestors. The images are considered some of the earliest showing enslaved people in the United States. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II, File)
