Default Re: Bill Russell....

He was an active participant in the Civil Rights movement. He appeared in the Deep South, Mississippi I believe, where tempers were short and Jim Crow followers were armed.

A couple of good books on the topic are The Children by David Halberstan and the biography of John Lewis. It's hard to believe these books are non-fiction.
