I painted this to represent how the Lacks family was kept in a tangle of lies by the white doctors. The face represents the family and it's in a shadow of white to show how the doctors also kept them in the shadows. The black background shows symbolizes the lack of information the family knew about Henrietta, and the circle is the white bubble in which the doctors kept the family in; they wouldn't let the Lackses obtain information about Henrietta's cells or what they did to her.

This video is about how the Henrietta Lacks scholarship has helped 23 black students become medical proffesionals and that her story has unsurfaced the problems between the public and medical researchers. The public tends to distrust researchers because things many of them have done are unethical and frowned upon. The institution Claudia Baquet is representing in this video has a goal educate its patients on bioethics so that the community will be more trusting of medical centers.
