Oral History and and the African American Experience

WSP · May 20, 2021 ·

Hear Tamara Lanier explain how buying a salad at an ice cream store and a promise to her dying mother led to the discovery that Harvard University possessed images of her enslaved great, great, great grandfather Renty Taylor and his daughter, Delia. Hear how oral history, research and luck led to the discovery and how the discovery has led to a landmark lawsuit against Harvard over who owns the record of past injustices and whether past injustices are irrelevant in respect to ownership.

This program is the final talk in a series cosponsored by the local affiliate, Witness to History: Slavery in Guilford.
