The Russel Senate Office Building is named after Dim from Georgia who was an explicit racist. Drunk Gerry hasn’t said a word about that.
Because Richard Russell was the MENTOR of LBJ— the “saviour” of the black democrat vote and 2 trillion in the “war on poverty” rat hole of poured federal money. BTW Russell said he would go to his grave sorry to have ever helped LBJ— apalled at his racist bigotry unbecoming to a true Southern democrat and progressive which Russel mostly was. Long time ago— and obviously forgotten in demonrat re-writing of their own party’s history.
