Oliver Tambo, born on this day in 1917, was a South African anti-apartheid politician and revolutionary who served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1967 to 1991.
In 1943, Tambo, along with Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, founded the ANC Youth League, with Tambo becoming its first National Secretary and a member of the National Executive in 1948. The Youth League proposed a change in the tactics of the anti-apartheid movement, advocating boycotts, civil disobedience, strikes, and non-collaboration.
In 1960, Tambo fled South Africa due to political persecution, living in exile in north London for thirty years. From London, he supported and helped organize the ANC in the fight against apartheid from a distance. On December 13th, 1990, Tambo returned to South Africa and was elected National Chairperson of the ANC.

Hexbear went down for 5 minutes, preventing me from posting about cute boys, but in the meantime I saw one on the frontpage of Twitch, so we're good
He was trying on different costumes for Halloween, and one of them was an American cop, he pretented to blackmail the audience for subs.
Then this next outfit was prefaced with "what does this have to do with Halloween? Absolutely nothing"
The other day I heard Obama speaking on a TV I was walking past and because of you the whole time I was half-expecting to hear him break out into saying "...and I like cute boys."
