Bill overview
This resolution urges the Senate to remove the name of Richard B. Russell from the Russell Senate Office Building due to his long-standing opposition to civil rights and his support for segregation. The resolution highlights specific instances of Russell’s actions, including his filibusters against civil rights bills and his involvement in the Southern Manifesto. It argues that honoring him on a prominent building is inconsistent with the values of equality promoted by the United States.
