During Women’s History Month, we invite you to discover the powerful and complicated story of Henrietta Lacks—a woman whose cells revolutionized modern medicine after they were taken without her knowledge or consent. Her HeLa cells contributed to lifesaving vaccines, cancer research, and countless scientific breakthroughs, even as her family remained unaware for years. Learn how her story reshaped conversations about medical ethics, patient rights, and racial justice in healthcare. Join us for an eye-opening discussion that honors her life and lasting impact.

The Park is located midway between Sherman and Denison off Hwy. 75, Exit 67.  Our meetings are open to members and their guests. Everyone is welcome to come and take part.
