Early yearseditFamily and personal lifeeditBill Russell was born to Charles Russell and Katie Russell in West Monroe, Louisiana. Like almost all southern towns and cities of that time, West Monroe was a highly segregated place, and the Russells often struggled with racism in their daily lives. Once, Russells father was refused service at a gas station until the staff had taken care of all the white customers. When his father attempted to leave and find a different station, the attendant stuck a shotgun in his face and threatened to kill him if he didnt stay and wait his turn. At another time, Russells mother was walking outside in a fancy dress when a policeman accosted her. He told her to go home and remove the dress, which he described as white womans clothing. Because large numbers of blacks were moving to the West during World War II to look for work there, Russells father moved the family out of Louisiana when Russell was eight years old and settled them in Oakland, California. While there the family fell into poverty, and Russell spent his childhood living in a series of public housing projects. Charles Russell is described as a stern, hard man who was initially a janitor in a paper factory then a typical Negro Job low paid, intellectually unchallenging, as sports journalist John Taylor commented,7 but later became a trucker when World War II broke out.

He worked hard and used the benefits of a growth spurt to become a decent basketball player, but it was not until his junior and senior years that he began to excel, winning back to back high school state championships. Russell soon became noted for his unusual style of defense. He later recalled, To play good defense . When I started to jump to make defensive plays and to block shots, I was initially corrected, but I stuck with it, and it paid off. Russell, in an autobiographical account, notes while on a California High School All Stars tour, he became obsessed with studying and memorizing other players moves e.
