Video, audio, and photos on Rebecca Skloot's web site

I recently visited Rebecca Skloot's web site and found a wealth of information about Henrietta Lacks and her family. In the photos section, you can see many photos that were not included in the book. There are several photos of Deborah and Zakariyya, two of Henrietta's children, looking at their mother's cells for the first time. There are extensive photos of Clover, Henrietta's hometown, throughout the years, as well as photos from Turner's Station, the Baltimore suburb where Henrietta lived for the last several years of her life. In the audio/video section, you can watch a video of HeLa cells dividing. You can also watch The Way of All Flesh, the BBC documentary mentioned throughout the book. Ms. Skloot also included a video from her book tour, which includes footage of Henrietta's son Sonny and his two daughters talking about HeLa's impact on their lives.

I definitely recommend visiting this web site to see people and places from the book come to life.
