Bill Russell's impact both on and off the court will never be forgotten and always be celebrated. To further commemorate his impact on civil rights and the city of Boston, the Washington Street Bridge was renamed after him.

"I think it’s very fitting that the bridge is getting named after him, because what a bridge does is bring people together." The post Jaylen Brown cited legacy of Bill Russell at ceremony for renamed bridge appeared first on Boston.

The city of Boston paid tribute to a Celtics legend on Monday morning by renaming the North Washington Street Bridge in Bill Russell’s honor in a ceremony led by mayor Michelle Wu. The bridge that connects Boston to Charlestown will now officially be named the “William Felton ‘Bill’ Russell Bridge.”
