This week Colin Powell, the decorated military leader and the first Black chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the first Black US Secretary of State died from Covid-19 complications amid a battle against cancer.
In December 2000, President George W. Bush described Powell as “an American hero, an American example, and a great American story. It’s a great day when a son of the South Bronx succeeds to the office first held by Thomas Jefferson.”
