About Henrietta Lacks
Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (2010) tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman whose cancer cells — taken without consent in 1951 — became one of the most important tools in medical research (the HeLa cell line), contributing to polio vaccine development, cancer research, and countless other breakthroughs, while her family remained in poverty and ignorance of her contribution.
