I would like to submit Cane River by Lalita Tademy. Beautifully written book about creole culture in Louisianna during slavery and the civil war. It is based on a true story. I think this movement is so necessary. Keep doing great works! My book suggestion is “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot. This book is the biography and detailing of Henrietta Lacks who later became known as HeLa in the medical/science world. Her cells were taken without her or her family’s knowledge in 1951 and have been bought and sold over and over again. She was a poor black tobacco farmer who died of cancer and her cells were vital in the development of the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping and more….yet her family as amazon puts it…”can’t even afford health insurance.” Thank you again and I will be reading @kharrison528

Knjiga dana - Rebecca Skloot: Besmrtni život Henriette Lacks Priča o srazu etike, rase i medicine, o znanstvenim otkrićima i liječenju vjerom. Zvala se Henrietta Lacks, ali među znanstvenicima bila je poznata kao HeLa. Bila je siromašna crna uzgajivačica duhana čije su stanice - uzete bez njezina znanja 1951. - postale jedno od najvažnijih oruđa u medicini, od presudne važnosti za razvoj cjepiva protiv dječje paralize, kloniranja, mapiranja gena i mnogočega drugog. Henriettine se stanice kupuju i prodaju na milijune, ali ona je ostala praktički nepoznata, a njezina obitelj ne može si priuštiti zdravstveno osiguranje. Ova uspješnica s vrha top-liste New York Timesa pripovijeda priču o srazu etike, rase i medicine, o znanstvenim otkrićima i liječenju vjerom te o kćeri opsjednutoj pitanjima o majci koju nije poznavala.
