    Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Virginia. She was a young mother of five children, three boys and two girls. After giving birth to her fourth child- Deborah- she found out that she had a “knot in her womb” and went to Johns Hopkins hospital for treatment. Back then in the 1950s, Johns Hopkins hospital was one of a few hospitals in the country because they accepted to treat black patients and the poor without payments. However, they still separated between blacks and whites. Henrietta had to go to the colored wards and enter a colored-only exam room. Her blood was labeled as colored before they stored it. In the end, when she died, her body was stored in a colored freezer. Doctor Howard Jones was…

    James Derham was the first African-American to practice medicine in the United States. Born in Philadelphia, Derham started life as a slave. He was owned by three doctors in the area. In one of the households he learned to read and write. In 1788 he was sold to a prominent surgeon in New Orleans, and the surgeon encouraged Derham to learn medicine. Derham showed great aptitude at helping others, and he also quickly learned the art of surgery. He was popular for his medical knowledge but also his fluency in speaking French, English, and Spanish. He would have been a godsend to African-Americans who would not have been allowed to visit a white doctor.Slaves and African-American freemen were not permitted to consult a white doctor. For those people, Derham would have made a big difference. He is quoted as saying about Derham: “I conversed with him on medicine and surgery and found him learned. I thought I could give him information concerning the treatment of disease, but I learned more from him than he could expect from me.”…

    JFK Museum

    • 627 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza was nothing short of an amazing experience. It provides an abundant amount of interesting information about John F. Kennedy and goes into a lot deeper depth than just the day of the shooting. I have always loved going to museums and finding out interesting things about the past, and it is even a bigger thrill when you are actually at the place where history happened. The Sixth Floor Museum provides information about JFK's early life, family, campaign runs, and shooting. Most of the museum is just on one floor of the building, yet it fits so much information and diagrams in it. It is also well organized and makes you follow a path that shows all of JFK's historical moments in chronological order and not just giving out information at random moments. The museum also shows the window that Lee Harvey Oswald peered out of to snipe down the president with the boxes where he propped his rifle. In addition, there are voice recordings playing from when the event took place to give you a closer experience. Even after fifty years since the shooting, it is still a haunting site see as you can almost picture the event happening right in front of you. And just incase you cant picture the event at first by looking out the window, the museum provides and helpful glass cased diagram of the buildings and roads showing exactly where in Elm St JFK was shot and where the shots were coming from. I felt the information given was unbiased and appeals to all people for it gives straight facts about what happened during JFK's presidency and the day of the shooting. Even for the people who do not believe it was Oswald, the museum also provides a whole bulletin board filled with conspiracy theories making sure that nothing is ruled out.…

    I did feel that the artifacts, although interesting and important, were very repetitive, not to say that they are not helpful, but I would have liked to see a wider variety of artifacts. The Strengths I noticed in the exhibit were the information included with each piece of item. I felt like this was very useful in understanding, who, what, when, where, why, and what happened to them after the fact of the war. The new piece of information that I acquired, was that at one point in the War, Germany attempted mass genocide on Turkey, I had never heard this piece of information and it makes sense to me now that they had one of the higher death tolls than the other nations involved. I agree with the way the museum is set up for this exhibit. There is plenty of primary sources and information given throughout the exhibit that anyone could learn something new walking through…

    In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, race is one of the main themes as Skloot tells her story about Henrietta. When Henrietta goes to the doctor to discover some pain that she has and how the doctors took samples out of her without her consent. Since she is African American, the doctors assume that she is uneducated and do not tell her what is wrong with her body. Henrietta was not the only one though, in the 1950's doctors attempted various procedures on African Americans and other races like Latinos. Many were exploited and their bodies were used for medical reasons and were not treated like human beings, but like experiments. In the reading, Notes on the State of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson discusses the…

Bowley has a great authority as the writer of this article. He presents a researched case with an official in the museum field, Aaron Bryant, as his informant. The credibility of a writer from NYT and a museum curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture is secure. The ethos of Bowley’s article assists the audience to realize the benefit of collecting items of current affairs as preservation helps uphold their…
