Born on April 5, 1937, in New York City to Jamaican parents, Powell became one of the most respected leaders in modern U.S. history. He was the first African American Secretary of State, having previously served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Known for his discipline, integrity, and commitment to service, Powell played a pivotal role in shaping U.S. foreign and military policy for decades. Beyond his public career, he will be remembered for his humility, mentorship, and lifelong dedication to leadership and education.
