The theme for this yearâs Black History Month is Black Women in American Culture and History, so this post will tell the story of a woman who went unknown for far too long. More than 60 years ago, in February 1951, a remarkable woman named Henrietta Lacks left the world a stunning legacy that may one day lead to cures for cancer and other diseases. Lacksâ story was brilliantly told by author Rebecca Skloot in her 2010 book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
