The unveiling of the wax figure of Mrs. Henreitta Lacks, of the famed HeLa Cells, is scheduled for Saturday, March 15, 2025 at 1:00 p.m.
The Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group (HLLG) is dedicated to extending the legacy of Mrs. Lacks and that of historic Turner Station where she lived at the time of her death. With the help of the public, HLLG raised the funds necessary to create a wax figure of Mrs. Lacks that will be housed in the National Great Wax in Blacks Museum. We are proud of the accomplishment and the enduring legacy that will be on full display in the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum. The program will include awarding the winners of the Annual Essay and Video Competition.
