Days like this are difficult yet bittersweet. Seeing all of the hard work the Governor, the Mayor and myself did in getting the bridge dedicated to Bill makes it all worth it. I think he would be proud. Thank you Boston. -Mrs. Russell

Bill would always keep at the core of his mission, that we must honor the past by shaping a future rooted in equality and justice for everyone. On #MLKday we will not lose sight of that mission.

Thank you @MayorWu, John Borders & @MassGovernor. What a wonderful day to rename a bridge. I usually bring Bill flowers but I think this will suffice 💕 I hope he is proud and looking down on us.

My prayers go out to Rose and the kids on their loss of Dikembe. Husband, father & friend. He & Bill had such a special bond. The world has lost a great leader & man. Rest peacefully 🤍 -Jeannine Russell 💔

It was wonderful to celebrate #Juneteenth at City Hall just feet away from Bills Statue. Today, we honor the strength and resilience of those who fought for justice & equality. Let's continue to work together for a brighter, more inclusive future. #FreedomDay
