Powell served as the first African-American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and was appointed Secretary of State by President George W. Bush, becoming, at that time, the most powerful African-American ever to hold office.

A four-star general, Powell's numerous awards include two Presidential Medals of Freedom. He is the author of the best-selling autobiography, My American Journey.
