Two Lacks family members visited campus as part of the programming around the Williams Reads book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." In celebrating her legacy, family members give the audience a first-person perspective on the collision between ethics, race and the commercialization of human tissue, and how the experience changed the Lacks family from generation to generation. This event was sponsored by the The Thomas B. Healy Fund, Williams Reads, and the Gaudino Fund. Held at Williams College, February 11, 2015.
