Tamara Lanier
Tamara Lanier is a descendant of enslaved individuals and a prominent advocate for the rights of descendants of enslaved people.

Lanier's determination and advocacy have been recognized as a significant victory for descendants seeking justice and recognition of their ancestors' dignity.
