The Disney movie 'The Color of Friendship' taught me about him
In 1986 Congressman Ron Dellums authored the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act. It passed the House & Senate. President Ronald Reagan vetoed it. Unthinkable. For the 1st time in the 20th century, a bi-partisan Congress overrode a presidential veto on foreign policy. R.I.P.pic.twitter.com/r58coCRsVN

I wouldn't characterize Reagan vetoing an anti-apartheid act as unthinkable. More like predictable. But, yes, the spirit of anyone vetoing such legislation should be unthinkable.

This may surprise some of you, but some of us don't recall Reagan as heroic. He ushered in disgust for poor & unfortunate that has festered & grown into today's inhumanity. Roots of climate deniers lie in appointment of James Watt. Hypocrisy is defined by canonization of Ollie.

The anti-apartheid struggle is one of the greatest moments in Black political activism in the United States. Salute! And may we learn from and be inspired by that example in future campaigns.
