Steering Committee meeting ca. 2021
Reading to End Racism remembers a wonderful steering committee
member, classroom reading volunteer, and RER Facebook editor. Cassie Major died August 17th, 2026, at
the age of 75. She joined Reading to End
Racism after she retired from a long career of award-winning teaching, and
brought her love of students and professional expertise to our program. On one day Cassie might create a new board game
to accompany her read-aloud book for a class, on another be an essential tech
back-up for a film session about RER, or then sit in a steering committee
meeting practically and efficiently helping see what needs to be done, and help
getting it done. She managed the RER Facebook page, too, amplifying the public understanding
of anti-racism work with announcements, news, and photos about RER events and related
issues for some years, even when she began more intensive traveling. We will miss you, Cassie, your
energy, encouragement, and the reminders to take one more photo!
