Markey (D-Mass.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) led the Massachusetts Congressional Delegation in introducing a resolution honoring Boston Celtics legend William \u201cBill\u201d Felton Russell. Russell was the number two pick in the 1956 NBA draft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A decade later, he became a player-coach for the Celtics and the first Black head coach of a major U.S. professional sports team. In his 13-year career with the Celtics, he led the team to 11 NBA championships, won the NBA\u2019s most valuable player award five times, and was a 12-time All Star. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction follows an announcement from the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) that Russell\u2019s uniform No. 6 will be permanently retired across the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;59947&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russell matched&nbsp;his achievements&nbsp;on the&nbsp;basketball&nbsp;court&nbsp;with an&nbsp;enduring commitment to advancing civil rights and racial justice in America.&nbsp;In 1963,&nbsp;Russell&nbsp;marched&nbsp;with&nbsp;the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King,&nbsp;Jr.&nbsp;in&nbsp;Washington.&nbsp;That same year, Russell&nbsp;encouraged demonstrations against the segregation of Boston public schools. And in 1967, he&nbsp;took part in the Cleveland Summit to join Black athletes supporting Muhammad Ali\u2019s refusal to enter the military after he was drafted&nbsp;to fight&nbsp;in the Vietnam War. For these efforts and more,&nbsp;in 2011 President Barack Obama&nbsp;awarded&nbsp;Bill&nbsp;Russell&nbsp;the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBill Russell was a hero, a disruptor, a leader, a giant,\u201d\u00a0said Senator Markey.\u00a0\u201cHe was brilliance, fairness, and justice personified. The greatest winner in the history of all sports and the conscience of our city\u00a0and country.\u00a0We honor Bill Russell\u2019s legacy\u00a0as a Celtic, a champion, and a crusader.\u00a0With a heavy heart,\u00a0we\u00a0express our deepest condolences to his friends and family\u00a0and his fans\u00a0for\u00a0this\u00a0loss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;59984&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBill Russell was a legend on and off the court,\u201d\u00a0said Senator Warren.\u00a0\u201cNot only did he help lead the Celtics to an astounding 11 NBA championships, but he was also committed to courageous and righteous fights\u2014marching alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., speaking out against segregation in Boston public schools during the prime of his career, and regularly championing civil rights and racial justice. I\u2019m thankful to partner with Senator Markey and Representative Pressley to honor his legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBill Russell was an undisputed champion both on the court and off, and he was an unapologetic advocate for a more just and equitable world. But most importantly, he was a man with a family and beloved community,\u201d\u00a0said Congresswoman Pressley.\u00a0\u201cCongressional intent is powerful, and a resolution is a statement of Congress\u2019 appreciation for Bill Russell\u2019s endless contributions throughout his lifetime. I give my heartfelt condolences to his loved ones. May he rest in peace &amp; power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;70107&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBill Russell stands alone as the greatest champion in the history of team sports. He was a remarkable 21-0 in winner take all games, and my personal favorite athlete of all time. But what sets him apart from everyone else was his lifetime of activism for civil rights,\u201d\u00a0said Congressman Bill Keating.\u00a0\u201cBill Russell never cowered from speaking up for what was right and just, and his legacy is so much more than that of a Celtics\u2019 legend \u2013 his legacy is that of a giant who never cowered from risking it all to make our world a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBill Russell stood taller than anyone on the basketball court, and he had the courage to risk his celebrity to stand up for justice in Boston and across the United States,\u201d\u00a0Congressman Seth Moulton said.\u00a0 \u201cYes, we are grateful that the greatest champion in sports is a Celtic, but we are also thankful he was an unparalleled champion for the rights and dignity of all of us. May he rest in power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;53820&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor so many here in Massachusetts and across our nation, Bill Russell is an inspiration. Those of us who have followed Bill\u2019s career for decades know that both on and off the court, he always worked to improve the people around him,\u201d\u00a0said Congresswoman Lori Trahan. \u201cThere\u2019s no question that our Commonwealth and our country are better off today because of his tenacity, his advocacy, and his leadership. I\u2019m honored to join with my colleagues to introduce this resolution to honor Bill\u2019s life and legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full text of the resolution\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.markey.senate.gov\/download\/resolution-honoring-life-and-legacy-of-bill-russell\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-new-year-flyer-happy-new-year-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-new-year-flyer-happy-new-year-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-new-year-flyer-happy-new-year-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-new-year-flyer-happy-new-year-768x995.jpg 768w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-new-year-flyer-happy-new-year-1186x1536.jpg 1186w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-new-year-flyer-happy-new-year-1582x2048.jpg 1582w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-new-year-flyer-happy-new-year-scaled.jpg 1977w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-17-at-10.45.38-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-17-at-10.45.38-PM.png 870w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-17-at-10.45.38-PM-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-17-at-10.45.38-PM-768x634.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In full transparency, the following is a media release from Sen.
