Calling on the Senate to remove the name of Richard B. Russell from the Russell Senate Office Building.

This resolution urges the Senate to remove the name of Richard B. Russell from the Russell Senate Office Building, citing his historical opposition to civil rights and support for white supremacy. The House of Representatives highlights several instances, including Russell's participation in a 1935 filibuster against an anti-lynching bill and his 1936 re-election campaign speech advocating for the preservation of White supremacy . Furthermore, he drafted the Southern Manifesto in 1956, which supported segregation and rejected the Brown v. Board of Education decision. The resolution condemns the use of memorials for lawmakers who intentionally disavowed the principle that all persons are created equal. It specifically calls for the Senate to remove Russell's name and revert to the building's original designation, the Old Senate Office Building . This change is proposed to remain in effect until the Senate identifies a more suitable honoree whose values align with the nation's commitment to equality and justice.
