Harvard excluded the daguerreotypes from its slavery-acknowledgment report

Evidence

During our call, Franco said that Harvard did not include key findings he uncovered while researching Harvard’s connections—which frustrated and disappointed him. He also said that the university was adamant that the daguerreotypes were not to be part of this project. He added that he was glad to have a place to use that reporting—not just for Jill’s class, but he hoped to get this piece published in a national newspaper as well. — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 1274
