On Monday October 15, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks will be screened at UH South, hosted by Michigan Medicine. The film tells the story of the African American woman whose cells were used by scientists to create the first immortal human cell line in the 1950’s, and addresses topics such as racial and class structures that contribute to disparities within the field of health. There will be an after-film discussion panel on the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Doors open at 6:30 and the film starts at 7:00.
