Description

Join me in learning about the life of Henrietta Lacks, the originator of the HeLa immortal cell line. I examine the erasure and revision of her life and contributions to science, detailing the multigenerational exploitation of her family and exploring the contradictions in her legacy. I implore the institutions who have benefitted from her cells to pay reparations.Transcript: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rhbMOo8ZPlmwlciX5kYA0tAHcCOIqNon/view?usp=sharing
