Renty Taylor, also known as Renty Thompson or Papa Renty, was an African man of the 18th and 19th centuries. Born in the Congo Basin, he was captured and enslaved and brought to the United States and sold as a slave. He worked on the cotton plantation owned by Benjamin Franklin Taylor. He was one of the subjects of the oldest known slave photos, which were taken by Joseph T. Zealy under the supervision of Harvard biologist Louis Agassiz in March 1850, whose ideas were used to support the enslave
