Evidence

“The case has been remanded to the Superior Court, which will review Lanier’s emotional distress claims in light of the decision by Massachusetts’ highest court,” the Crimson reported, and included a statement from the Supreme Judicial Court: “Harvard was put on notice that she would reasonably be greatly concerned about how the images—created through coercion and depicting her ancestors in a degrading, dehumanizing light—would be used, displayed, and disseminated…because, as alleged, Harvard did just the opposite, its actions plausibly rose to the level of extreme and outrageous conduct.” — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 1325
