Colin Powell, military leader and first Black US secretary of state, has died of Covid-19
"General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19," the Powell family wrote on Facebook."We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American," they said, noting he was fully vaccinated.
"Such a life requires a calling that I do not yet hear," he told reporters in 1995."And for me to pretend otherwise would not be honest to myself, it would not be honest to the American people." Powell was again encouraged to run in the 2000 presidential election, but rebuffed calls for him to mount a bid. He instead endorsed George W.
