Ginny Lane, Boston Teacher Activist
|
This Boston Kindergarten teacher, Ginny, was sent to teach, along with her mostly minority Kindergarteners, in Room One at Oliver Hazard Perry Elementary School in South Boston, a room that the school administration had closed previously, due to mold, which was visible on the walls. She (a healthy individual beforehand) developed a serious fungal infection of the lungs called Aspergillosis. The disbelieving teacher who offered to take the room, in a staff meeting, when Ginny became disabled (fighting for her life) has just died of a virulent breast cancer that went to her brain, developed within two years of working in Room One.
Follow her testimonies as she speaks before the Boston City Council and Massachusetts legislators in support of legislation, tirelessly advocating to protect others in schools from mold-related illnesses like hers.
