About Henrietta Lacks
20th century woman who made great contributions to the medical field through the donation of her cells. A biopsy taken during cervical cancer treatment resulted in cells that produced indefinitely under certain conditions and became the first immortalized cell line. It was called the HeLa line and has continued to be a source of medical data for over 65 years.

She was born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia and would later move to Maryland with her husband and family. She died of cervical cancer in 1951.
Trivia
