Light In The Night

A Powerful Story of Legacy, Impact, and Truth

This Women’s History Month, something meaningful is taking place on the South Side of Chicago.

This is not just a film screening. It is a moment to learn, reflect, and honor a story that changed the world.

Centered around the life of Henrietta Lacks, this event brings awareness to the woman whose cells transformed modern medicine and helped save millions of lives. Her contribution has impacted everything from vaccines to cancer research, yet her story remained unknown for far too long.

This gathering creates space to recognize her legacy while also engaging in a deeper conversation about ethics, history, and the importance of acknowledging the people behind scientific breakthroughs.

Hosted in partnership with Project H.O.O.D. and community organizations committed to education and empowerment, the evening will feature a screening of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, along with opportunities to hear from voices connected to her story and impact.

In a time where knowledge matters more than ever, this event serves as a reminder that history is not just something we read. It is something we must understand, honor, and carry forward.

Attendees can expect a thoughtful and engaging experience that blends education, culture, and community. Whether you are familiar with Henrietta Lacks or learning about her for the first time, this moment will leave you informed, inspired, and reflective.

This is more than a film.

This is a story that deserves to be seen, heard, and remembered.

If you are looking for an experience that will challenge your perspective, deepen your understanding, and connect you to a powerful legacy, make plans to attend.
