  1. 1. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

    The Story of an African American Woman Whose Cells Changed the Course of Medicine

    The book tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, a poor African American tobacco farmer whose cells, taken without her knowledge in 1951, became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, and more.
