Henrietta Lacks Foundation Inc

The henrietta lacks foundation provides financial assistance to individuals and families - particularly within minority communities - who were involved in historic research cases without their knowledge, consent, or benefit. This includes the cases of henrietta lacks and hela cells, the tuskegee syphilis studies, and the human radiation experiments, among others. The foundation offers those who have benefited from those contributions - including scientists, universities, corporations, and the general public - a way to show their appreciation to such research subjects and their families.
