Family Support and Encouragement
Growing up, Bill Russell faced numerous challenges, being a black kid in the American South, poor, and losing his mother early on. Despite these difficulties, he had a father who provided remarkable support and guidance. His father, a man of great dignity, drove his kids to California to offer them better opportunities away from segregation and hopelessness.
