her legacy lives on

On August 1, 2020, The Lacks Family launched "HELA100: Henrietta Lacks Centennial CELLebration" to honor her legacy on the occasion of Henrietta's 100th birthday!

Advancing hela100

In honor of Henrietta Lacks’101st birthday, The Lacks Family announced the advancement of HELA100 as the “HELA100 The Henrietta Lacks Initiative”. This year HELA100 commemorates 70 years since her HeLa cells changed the world and her untimely death.

HONORING HENRIETTA

Henrietta's HeLa cells, taken without her or her family's knowledge or consent, would become responsible for some of the greatest scientific advancements of the century and continue to benefit all of humanity.

LACKS FAMILY-LED

We, The Lacks Family, invite the world to support our mission to preserve our grandmother's legacy by educating future generations on the impact of her phenomenal HeLa cells while promoting health equity

and social justice.
