Turner Station was the small town outside of Baltimore where Henrietta and David moved with their kids when he got a job at a steel mill. Turner Station was where many of the steel workers lived. The town was segregated. The Lacks family lived on the “other side of the tracks” in an area that came to be known as Lacks Town.
