Bill Russell Always Showed Up


From college to the NBA, from marching with Dr. King to taking a knee for Colin Kaepernick, Bill Russell showed up because Bill Russell always did. America always has needed its Game 7 players, and there was no better Game 7 player than Bill Russell, who passed away on Sunday, July 22 in the 88th year of a life of activism and involvement.
