Massive congratulations to all involved in #FamilyTree tonight. Our Belgrade Theatre's youth forum totally blown away. So many emotions so many years of injustice. #HenriettaLacks #DidNotAsk ActorsTouringCompany Brixton House Melina Barnett
I’m currently reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot (she/her) for the second time. It’s amazing how HeLa cells were used to innovate in so many scientific disciplines. #HeLa #HenriettaLacks
Rochelle Riley Thank you so much for sharing this Rochelle! I’m ashamed to say I never knew of Ms. Lack’s amazing story. Proving once again why Black history, American history, is vital to learning.
Sending prayers & healing vibes your way dear lady. ❤️🙏🏻

Imagine the lives that #HenriettaLacks ' children & grandchildren & great-grandchildren might have lived had people known of her contribution to medicine. Wow, they might have been treated like Fords or Rockefellers or Breckenridges, thanked for their ancestor saving the world.
Some exciting news about a special event exploring the themes of FAMILY TREE and the legacy of #HenriettaLacks … coming 🔜

#HenriettaLacks is still an important figure in research.
It's maddening that her family was never compensated and that she is not fully recognized for her contributions and the lives she's saved and will save
Mojisola Adebayo I saw my 2nd play this week tonight by #MojisolaAdebayo Family Tree Brixton House depicting the life of #HenriettaLacks highlighting her importance in all of our lives through her cells
I took my Mum to see this last night. I’m not sure the two of us have ever been so stunned into silence. 90 minutes combining so many important themes… #henriettalacks #medicalexploitation #blacklivesmatter #slavetrade #covid19
Absolutely cannot recommend this enough.
This woman changed the 🌍, though her gift wasn’t freely given—instead it was taken from her without her consent. Let us pay tribute to #HenriettaLacks & honor her memory by holding each other to the highest ethical standards & rectifying injustices (past & current) we encounter.
#HenriettaLacks (born Loretta Pleasant; August 1, 1920 – October 4, 1951) was a Black-American woman whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, the first immortalized human cell line and one of the most important cell lines in medical research.
Let’s talk about the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. She deserves to be recognized every day. #henriettalacks #medicine #joelbervell #healthcare #herstory #hela
