Most historical figures are very complex.
Ronald Reagan supported apartheid South Africa. He accelerated the War on Drugs, ruining the lives of millions. He trivialized HIV, failed to take action, causing untold levels of suffering.
He's still one of our most important presidents. It's important to learn why these things happen. You can even celebrate Ronald Reagan, without celebrating the above.
History is not, and has never been a comic book. It's not as simple as good vs evil.
