Description
Gift from filmmaker. Sam was the daughter of my friend and colleague, Faye Ginsburg, who gave me the video to teach with. Both agreed it would promote her activist agenda to be digitized and put online. Samantha Ginsburg Myers, 33, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2022, from cardiac arrest. Sam was an activist on behalf of those with Familial Dysautonomia (FD), her rare Jewish degenerative genetic condition.
