The C.O.W.S. w/ Ron Lacks: Medical White Supremacy and the Henrietta Lacks’ Family

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Ron Lacks. An coach, author, and entrepreneur, Mr. Lacks is the grandchild of Henrietta Lacks. Before his grandmother died of cervical cancer, White medical officials stole genetic material from Mrs. Lacks. They used the looted cells to conduct untold medical experiments. In fact, the Lacks cells are the foundation of a number of medical advancements. We’ll discuss Mr. Lacks book, Henrietta Lacks: The Untold Story. Mr. Lacks felt obligated to correct the false record about his family. We’ll discuss the movies and other books (authored and/or financed by Whites) that have portrayed the Lacks family as poor and simple-minded black people. We’ll also get details on the current lawsuit which seeks justice for Henrietta Lacks’ medical mistreatment.
