The court allowed emotional-distress claims but denied Lanier the images.

Evidence

It was a two-part ruling that basically granted me a day in court to sue Harvard for extreme, outrageous, reckless, and negligent infliction of emotional distress for the treatment of Renty and Delia and for the treatment of me. But Harvard gets to keep the daguerreotypes. — Tamara Lanier, From These Roots, 1320
