Harvard continued profiting from Renty’s image after public reckoning vows

Evidence

In 2017, Harvard used Renty’s image to sell its 30th Anniversary edition of From Site to Sight: Anthropology, Photography, and the Power of Imagery. … Harvard describes the book as an exploration of “the historic and contemporary uses of photography in anthropology”—even though Harvard knows Agassiz’s purpose in photographing Renty and Delia cannot fairly be described as anthropologic in nature. … Perhaps Harvard believed that Renty’s arresting face and semi-nude body would sell more copies. From Site to Sight costs $40.00. — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 1122
