Representative Ayanna Pressley and several other elected officials from the state of Massachusetts put together a House Resolution honoring the life and legacy of Boston Celtics Hall of Fame big man Bill Russell this week.
Russell passed away at the end of last July and was one of the true national treasures of the modern world. The Celtic great not only contributed to society as his sport’s ultimate winner with a total of 11 NBA titles to his name amongst countless other accolades but also used his platform at great personal risk to help others in the US Civil Rights movement and many other causes right up to the present day.
