Henrietta Lacks didn’t choose to save the world. She was a normal, beautiful woman whose life was cut short at just 31 years old. She didn’t know her cells would change medicine, but those who knew her say that giving life to others matches the generous, nurturing spirit she showed every day. /end
Henrietta Lacks statue in the heart of the University of Bristol campus. The life-size bronze statue captures Henrietta standing with her hands on her hips and a steadfast, determined expression. The statue made history as the first permanent public sculpture of a Black woman created by a Black woman in the U.K. It was sculpted by local Bristol-based artist Helen Wilson-Roe, who had begun researching Henrietta Lacks and reaching out to her descendants in 1997. The University of Bristol commissioned the statue because it relies on HeLa cells in its medical curriculum and research labs and sought to confront the problematic history of medical exploitation while honoring Henrietta’s irreplaceable gift to medicine. Because the Lacks family shares a long relationship with the artist, they traveled to the U.K. to attend the emotional livestream event. Three generations of her family were present for the unveiling. Photo credit: 14GTR.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent and branded a “domestic terrorist” by DHS — all for just warning her neighbors and speaking her truth during Operation Midway Blitz. She deserves true justice and accountability from the federal government.
