CC-BY-ND? No but what has that got to do with
anything. Our copyright
policy is more restrictive than the law and rightly so.
Indeed ... it falls outside the Wikimedia copyright policy that
Florence, as chair, ratified.

So contact them and try and get the photo released
under a free
licence. Or accept that the legacy exists beyond the photo.
Contacting them to relicence the photo would be the most productive angle.

Or you could contact them to relicence the photo, rather than working
against the Foundation-wide copyright policy that you as chair
accepted. Then we all win.
