About the Event

🧬📘 Book Talk + Signing with Ron Lacks  


Join us on September 13th from 12–1:30 PM at Urban Reads Bookstore for a powerful conversation with Ron Lacks, grandson of Henrietta Lacks and author of Henrietta Lacks: The Untold Story.


Henrietta Lacks’ cells—known as HeLa—became the foundation of modern medicine, used in everything from the polio vaccine to cancer research. But they were taken without her consent, and her family was left in the shadows. Ron Lacks is here to reclaim that legacy, tell the truth, and honor the woman behind the science.

🎁 Buy 1, Donate 1 — Every book sends a copy to someone incarcerated

📍 3008 Greenmount Ave, Baltimore, MD 📲 RSVP: @lacksron | @urbanreadsbookstore | UrbanReadsBookstore.com

This is not just history—it’s justice. Come hear the story from the bloodline.
