Talk With History: Discover Your History Road Trip Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa Cell - a Historic Real Life Superhero
šļø
Henrietta Lacks is the closest thing this world has ever had to a superhero. Her cells are so unique that they have been used in biomedical research ever since her fateful visit to her doctors in 1951. It is because of her that the world has things like the Polio Vaccine, COVID Vaccine, In vitro fertilization, and so many more medical wonders.
I was honored to visit her hometown of Clover, Virginia as well as visit her gravesite.
