"I marvel at how we have arrived in the year 2023, and we have a building on this campus, named after a person who was a White supremacist, a person who fought against anti-lynching laws, a person who fought integration, a person who was a segregationist," Green fumed on the House floor in late July."And we, people of color, tolerate it."Sen. Richard B.
"This is why the Senate will not remove the name that is offensive to me and many of my friends and relatives – they can't agree on a name. Well, I have the solution. Let it revert to the name that it had before it became Richard Russell. Let it revert to the old Senate office building. And then choose any name you want. Take as much time as you need," Green said.
