The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks: Readers Talkby rlskloot1,812 views
Not surprised being that blacks people are the original race right from creation. I'm surprised there aren't more. But of course there are some scientist who know more than we do and this is probably the reason they want to kill off blacks they are afraid.
This is why more blacks should seek after the true knowledge that they lost rather than learn from whites. If so they can change the world in an awesome fashion

Great book. Curious as to how the Lacks family is doing financially. A good part of the book focused on how bitter they were early on about everyone making money from the cells except them.

This is such a fascinating book. It's about family, 20th century race relations, academic jealousies and so much more than merely cancer cells. It's not a "science book" although science comes into it. Rather it's a moving tale of children finally getting to know the truth about their long-dead mother. It has lessons about the harm secrets and prejudices can bring. Everyone should find something to take away from it.It deserves all the accolades it's receiving.
