ron dellums

ronald vernie `` ron '' dellums -lrb- born november 24 , 1935 -rrb- served as oakland 's forty-eighth -lrb- and third african-american -rrb- mayor .
from 1971 to 1998 , he was elected to thirteen terms as a member of the u.s. house of representatives from northern california 's 9th congressional district , after which he worked as a lobbyist in washington d.c. .
dellums was born into a family of labor organizers , and enlisted in the united states marine corps before serving on the berkeley , california , city council .
dellums was the first african american elected to congress from northern california and the first openly socialist successful non-incumbent congressional candidate since world war ii .
his politics earned him a place on president nixon 's enemies list .
during his career in congress , he fought the mx missile project and opposed expansion of the b-2 spirit stealth bomber program .
when president ronald reagan vetoed dellums ' comprehensive anti-apartheid act of 1986 , a democratic-controlled house and a republican-controlled senate overrode reagan 's veto , the first override of a presidential foreign policy veto in the 20th century .
