Henrietta Lacks was an African American tobacco farmer and mother of five. She died in 1951, but her cells were kept and studied by scientists without the knowledge of her family. The cells have been genetically sequenced once again without consent.
Henrietta shared that house with her parents and eight older siblings until 1924, when her mother, Eliza Lacks Pleasant, died giving birth to her tenth child. â The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, pg. 18. Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Virginia and raised on a tobacco farm. She married her first cousin, David Day and later settled near Baltimore in Turner Station where Day worked at a steel mill. This was soon after the beginning of WWII and many African Americans came north for work.
