Her efforts are a model of preservation leadership at the local level and, in addition to her many achievements, her work has laid the groundwork for future preservation efforts in upcoming milestone birthday, the RHC requests that the Town Archive be named in her honor. 15 16 17 To: Reading Select Board From: David Monahan, Designee to Ad Hoc Commemoration Establishment (ACE) Committee Re: Juneteenth Statement of ACE Committee Date: June 18, 2025 As the Select Board’s designee to the Ad Hoc Commemoration Establishment (ACE) Committee, I will attend the Select Board meeting on June 24, 2025 to report on the Committee’s work to date to honor Bill Russell’s legacy by striving to create the vision of an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming community. As part of said report, the ACE Committee would like to share this statement with the Select Board. The Committee will host a table at the Juneteenth Freedom Festival on the Town Common on June 21. Committee Chair Taylor Gregory will read this statement aloud to apprise Reading residents of the committee’s focus and work to date. Juneteenth Statement of ACE Committee Every community in this country carries a stain of racism, and Reading, Massachusetts, is no exception. A community learning the hard truths about its history is faced with two choices: dismiss and downplay, or acknowledge and confront. With regard to racism, Reading has resoundingly chosen the latter. In recent years alone, the Town has established the Office of Equity and Social Justice (OESJ); formed Partners and Allies for Inclusive Reading (PAIR) to support OESJ and encourage resident involvement in equity work; consistently opted into the METCO program to promote diversity in our education system; seen the formation of the Students of Color and Allies for Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (SOCA4EJI) at Reading Memorial High School; and displayed artwork of key historical figures to include Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Harriett Tubman. Town residents and the community engaged in discussion about an alternative name for Joshua Eaton Elementary, due to the Eaton family’s documented ties to slave ownership. A continued extension of this redress was the Town’s formation of this Ad Hoc Commemoration Establishment (ACE) Committee. on which we proudly serve. We firmly believe that if we want to celebrate Bill Russell as an athlete, we also need to acknowledge the harms he endured while living in Reading. The charge of our committee is to determine programming for residents that acknowledges the shameful parts of the past while learning from those mistakes to be a more welcoming and inclusive town moving forward. Bill Russell was a groundbreaking African American athlete, civil rights leader, and trailblazer in professional sports. Russell left an indelible mark on basketball history, while off the court, he was a fierce advocate for social justice and used his platform to fight systemic racism. Russell endured racism and prejudice from some members of the Reading community. These actions ranged from repeated vandalism and destruction of 18 personal property to open opposition to selling the Russells a new home - specifically because of their race. This occurred in the pre-Civil Rights Act era, when race-based restrictions on real estate were still legal. The most egregious example was the breaking and entering of their family home, during which vandals defaced the walls with racial slurs and destroyed Russell’s basketball memorabilia and awards. Without casting aspersions on any particular individuals or departments, the cold reality is that no prior iteration of the Reading community came together to address the cruelties his family endured and embrace his values as our own - until now. To date, the Committee is preserving research related to Bill Russell’s life and legacy - before, during, and after basketball - with a focus on the Russell family’s experiences here in Reading and his civil rights work. We have identified potential actions the Committee and Town can take to disseminate this information, while harnessing Russell’s spirit, including educational initiatives, community discussions on racial equity, the establishment of programs promoting inclusivity, and greater community outreach in and around Reading, celebrating cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity. However, the biggest roadblock for the Committee is ensuring that our work aligns seamlessly with the Town’s larger efforts and values, rather than merely reflecting the desires of a dozen or so community members. As the Committee has evolved, we’ve been in an outward-facing, information-sharing posture. Our booth at Friends & Family Day and inclusion in events like this, while monumental for us to share our message and progress, are just the tip of the iceberg for community involvement. Over the coming weeks and months, we are asking community members to get actively involved: give public input at our upcoming meetings on the fourth Wednesday of the month, our next meeting is Wednesday, June 25; submit suggestions through the Town Manager or Director of Equity and Social Justice; and attend upcoming events. The Committee needs this community’s input as we refine ideas to best effectuate these goals in a way that inspires and educates the residents of our town. While the Town recognizes the past, it is committed to fostering a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all residents. We have grown and learned from our history. We hope to strengthen the public perception of the Town, showcasing Reading as a positive, welcoming, and inclusive community for all. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 1 of 6 33 ApptAuthSB DESIGNEEOESJRPDSCCATOSCCOABOLTSBSBSBSBSBSB - RHA MemberSBSBSB MemberSBSBSBSBSBSBSB MemSC MemSB ApptFC MemRMLD MemFC MemSC Mem 202520252025202520252025202520252025202520252025202520262026202520282025202720262025202620252027202720272026202620272028 Term Ends 2024202420242024202420242024202420242024202420242024202420152023200920242022202020052022201020192023 Orig.
