Henrietta Lacks; Lineage and History of the British Royal Family
Manage episode 341412548 series 3325432
Welcome to episode 42! Laurel kicks things off with a story about a Black woman named Henrietta Lacks, who passed away from an unbelievably aggressive form of cervical cancer. Her legacy runs deep and wide as the same cells that took her life help science and medicine in life-saving and astonishing ways to this day. Unfortunately, as much as we have all been impacted by her legacy, there has been a decades long injustice that still continues to this day. Next, KT gives a nod to the late Queen Elizabeth II with a story of the lineage and centuries long history of the British Royal Family. Her story also loosely connects with her other story "How the Kingdom of England Began" from episode 34.
