The Immortal Woman

Now I Know: The Immortal Woman: Henrietta Lacks, pictured above, died on October 4, 1951, from cervical cancer which had metastasized throughout her body. She was 31 years old, and was buried in a family burial plot without a tombstone. But while Lacks herself is gone, a small part of her lives on. And lives nearly everywhere.
