Immortal & Beloved


The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot, is the 2011 First Year Seminar Common Book. You have all summer to track down a copy. Remember that the Common Book is not just for FYS students. Read it and then let Lila know what you thought in the library's guide!

Cannot suggest students try Nashville Public Library, as the standard version of this text is at this moment under FIFTY-SIX HOLDS!!

The 1997 documentary on her linked at the bottom of this page is amazing!
