Calling on the Senate to remove the name of Richard B. Russell from the Russell Senate Office Building.
Summary
This resolution calls on the U.S. Senate to remove the name of former Senator Richard B. Russell from the oldest of the three Senate office buildings. If adopted, the building would revert to its original name, the "Old Senate Office Building," until a new name is selected.
The proposal is based on the sponsor's view that the building should not honor a figure known for his opposition to civil rights and racial equality. For citizens, this change would primarily affect the official naming and signage of the historic Capitol Hill landmark, which has carried Russell's name since 1972.
