Slavery

On a micro level, proving the actual ownership of the photos would be difficult with the information presented in this video.  However on a macro level, the ownership of these photos should not belong to a single individual or even to a family. Somehow all photos should be saved in a single location, perhaps one per [former slave owning] state, with any income earned, excepting maintenance/upkeep for that particular location and staff, be applied to educational scholarships to anyone proving slaves in their lineage.  All that being said, while my ancestors were not treated kindly, to the best of my knowledge none were slaves. Educating these descendants of slaves making this modern generation both financially and personally independent, may be the best reparation that can be provided.
