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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
