Kempton Park was about an hour away from where her parents lived and they would visit as often as they could Dianne thought she did way too much for everybody on the farm.

While her and Bernita where doing the indoor work, her male cousins were doing the outdoor dirty work. All the kids still had to go to school between all the work that had to be done.

Henrietta went to her grandfather to a small four-room cabin, which was formerly a slave house, and was dubbed the “home-house” by the family. Once there she helped pick the sticky tobacco in the fields that surrounded the house with her cousins after she had finished tending to the animals in at the farm her grandfather owned. At night she and her cousins would make a bonfire and tell stories and have fun like all kids do when they are young. There was one cousin in particular with whom she had grown a special connection with David Lacks, her grandfather’s other grandchild. Henrietta and Day (the family called David this because of their southern drawl) played and worked in the fields together, they also shared a bed with one another in the

Without her, who knows where we would be today. She taught all of us so much. Even though she did not give birth to us she is still our mom. She was there for every basketball, football, and volleyball game my brothers and I played.
She also was on the school board at my grade school, was politically active, and was active in our church. Seeing her stand up to error in public situations gave me the strength to do the same. Sadly, I had to fight error in my high school history class. I disputed my religion teacher's position concerning the civil rights movement (just one of many discussions we had that year). But without Mom's example, I would have been silent like the other kids.
