Good morning Carrboro
High School, my name is Christina Alcox. February is Black History Month.
Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and
black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of
black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an
inspirational black figure.
Colin Powell
Born on April 5th 1937
has become one of the most prestigious military figures in U.S. History. Powell
served as the National Security Advisor from 1987 until 1989 when he became
commander of the U.S. Armed Forces Command. Powell’s outstanding performances
provided him with greater opportunities such as the position of Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989-1993 and eventually he was appointed the 65th
Secretary of State by George Bush for his first term.
