She Died in 1951… But Her Cells Are Still Alive Today

Описание: She was a young Black mother from Virginia who walked into Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951… and unknowingly changed the future of science.
Her name was Henrietta Lacks — and without her consent, doctors took a small sample of her cells that would become immortal.

Those cells, known as HeLa cells, went on to develop vaccines, fight cancer, and even help in the discovery of COVID-19 treatments.
But while the world advanced through her cells, Henrietta’s family lived in poverty — unaware of the global impact she’d made.

This is the untold story of exploitation, resilience, and legacy — the story of Henrietta Lacks, the woman whose cells changed the world forever.
