The Immortal Life of Henritta Lacks
by: Rebecca Skloot
by: Rebecca Skloot
The story of Henrietta Lacks, a poor Black woman whose cancerous cervical cells were taken without her consent in 1951 and became the first immortal human cell line (HeLa), revolutionizing medical research. The book explores the scientific, ethical, and racial issues surrounding the use of her cells, the history of medical experimentation on African Americans, and the Lacks family's struggle to understand and come to terms with their mother's legacy, as they were kept in the dark for decades and never saw profits from the cells.
Virtual discussion hosted by Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans: Wed, June 24 | 7 PM CST / 8 PM EST.
