S4 Ep1: Henrietta Lacks: The Cells Heard Round the World

Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

In the 1940s, Henrietta Lacks, a mother, wife, and pillar of her community, battled extremely aggressive cancer under extremely racist circumstances. In lieu of monetary payment, her doctors took pieces of her body for research. Henrietta went on to change the world and make some people quite rich. The only thing is, she was dead, and no one bothered to tell her family.
