The @LacksFamily are helping raise awareness on #CervicalCancer.

Taken without her consent, Henrietta Lacks’ cells have contributed to countless medical breakthroughs, including the development of the HPV vaccine, and #COVID19 research.

[Henrietta Lacks CELLebrate HeLa @CELLebrateHeLa]

We will amplify📣 the voices of survivors and families around the world so that no one has to know the feeling of losing a loved one to #cervicalcancer.

Get Informed. Get Screened. Get Vaccinated.

Glad to see this initiative, Senators @ChrisVanHollen and @SenatorCardin. As when @WHO honored Henrietta Lacks in 2021, it’s deeply important to acknowledge past injustices and advance racial equity in health and science.

[Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin]

Millions of people have benefited from the medical advances and protections derived from Henrietta Lacks’ cells. I’m proud to help lead this effort with Senator @ChrisVanHollen to award the Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of the tremendous impact of her life and legacy.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

The debt of gratitude we owe Henrietta Lacks can never be fully repaid. But we can work to right this historic wrong and honor her legacy. @SenatorCardin & I intro’d a bill to honor Mrs. Lacks with a Congressional Gold Medal to publicly recognize her contributions to the world.

ICYMI: March is Women's History Month and I wanted to honor a very special woman in history, Henrietta Lacks. Her immortal cells have been responsible for many medical breakthroughs. She deserves the Congressional Gold Medal. @LacksFamily #HenriettaLacks

We CELLebrate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson! Today the United States Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, making her the 116th justice — and the first Black woman — to serve on the top U.S. court. We are inspired by her actions and words!
