Still reading My Country, Autobiography of the Black Pasionaria. A couple of things: 1) Black liberation movements of the 50’s & 60’s were closely linked. They knew each other; 2) There’s no liberation without Black women, but more often than not, people want our labor without crediting us.

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do.

In honor of Black History Month, I want to celebrate Henrietta Lacks. Her immortal cells were unjustly taken without her consent. Without HeLa cells, science wouldn’t be what it is today. Learn more about Ms. Lacks’ story on the Lacks Family website: lacksfamily.com

The Lacks Family continues to spread the good news: Henrietta Lacks' story and legacy. The Lacks Family raises awareness and encourages action to problems.
