African American Experience: "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca S

Date: 
3/19/13, 7:00pm - 8:00pm

This is a tale of medical wonders, arrogance, racism, poverty and the bond that grows, sometimes painfully, between two very different women, Rebecca Skloot and Deborah Lacks. They both share an obsession to learn about Deborah's mother, Henrietta, and her magical, immortal cells. Stop by the circulation desk to pick up a copy of the book and register. Refreshments will be served.
