Join us for a discussion of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Henrietta Lacks was a poor southern tobacco farmer working the same land her slave ancestors had. She became immortal when her cells were taken without her permission. Her cells, the first to be grown culturally, were sold by the billions and used to develop the polio vaccine and to understand cancer. Her cells spawned a multimillion dollar industry. She and her family never received a cent.
