“[**No More, America**](https://www.harvardartmuseums.org/visit/exhibitions/5622/no-more-america),” depicts an 18th-century Harvard debate about whether slavery was compatible with natural law. The 14-minute film, on view in the Harvard Art Museums’ Lightbox Gallery, was developed by [Professor Peter Galison](https://www.physics.harvard.edu/people/facpages/galison) in conjunction with “[The Philosophy Chamber: Art and Science in Harvard’s Teaching Cabinet, 1766-1820](https://www.harvardartmuseums.org/visit/exhibitions/4916/the-philosophy-chamber-art-and-science-in-harvards-teaching-cabinet-1766-1820),” an exhibit highlighting the diverse teaching methods and fine art for which the Harvard Hall room was known.  
The film is reviewed in "[Depths of slavery, heard, seen, and felt](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/10/harvard-film-re-creates-18th-century-slavery-debate/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=10.31.2017%20(1))," Harvard Gazette, 10-30-2017
