News about Colin Powell

Gen. Brown's proposed replacement of current Chairman Mark Milley, whose term is set to end in September, will leave the two top Pentagon positions to African Americans for the first time in history, with Defense Secretary Lloyd J Austin III as the first one to be occupied by African Americans. After Colin Powell, who served as Presidents George H.W., he will also be the second Black man to serve as chairman. Between 1989 and 1993, Bush and Bill Clinton were married.

DAVIS: Jeffries writes these resurfaced essays in the hope of bringing an end to the 'existing white supremacist educational system and long-standing historical distortion.' The backlash was described by the author as 'high-tech lynchings.' And that's not all. When the Black Student Union at Binghamton University invited Leonard Jeffries to speak at the school Hakeem, then an executive board member of the student union, was all for it! A Jeffries' column not only condemned his uncle's right to speak (I'd like to hear him speak out against conservative speakers on campus today), but also slammed black Americans in a threatening way. We now live in dangerous times. Political divisiveness is giving way to political violence. We need cool heads in Congress, smart leaders who can articulate passionate opposition without preaching hatred. I find this appalling as a black American and a centrist.

RICHARD KAY (RG): Prince Charles and Princess Diana were scheduled to embark on their first overseas journey, a grueling 40 days of heat and dust criss-crossing Australia and New Zealand during the southern hemisphere summer. On a trip that included not only the birth of 'Di-mania,' but also the beginnings of the mistrust and resentment that were supposed to dominate the marriage within a decade. William and Kate will fly to their first official visit in the United Kingdom in their new position as Prince and Princess of Wales next week. Both are older, wiser, and more mature than the prince's parents, and their three days in Boston, the United States, should be a breeze.

In an episode that aired on Wednesday night, Joe Biden raced Colin Powell's son Michael in two Corvettes for Jay Leno's show. The president whizzed around at high speeds in front of the camera, confessing that he didn't have the privilege of driving himself around while living in the White House. The race was a repeat of the 2016 battle between Biden and Colin Powell. Michael said, 'I'm actually here to settle the score.' 'He was incredibly chuffed for years.' He said he had won the race but that the editing had been lost. And he said, if I had the opportunity, I'd make it right.' Biden chuckled, and gestured at his rival's car, asking: 'What is that - 10,000 horsepower?!' Leno launches the pair and the president pushes the car to 118 mph, appearing calm and composed in his convertible. The Secret Service agents are getting anxious. 'I'm in so much trouble,' Leno jokes. They had to declare a winner on diplomatic terms, but Powell's car was well ahead. Biden told Leno that he regretted that he could no longer be able to drive his car. 'I miss it,' he said.'

Michael James (left), 61, resigned from his position as an ESE tutor at O.J. Semmes Elementary (right) opened on Tuesday, just a day before classes resumed in session. He said the incident really 'floored' him and prompted him to write a letter to Florida's top politicians, including Governor Ron DeSantis (inset). The instructor continued to inspire his students, who are mainly black and ranging in age from five to eleven years old. At O.J., the minority student population is at 95%. According to Great Schools, 79 percent of black students attended Semmes Elementary, with 12 percent being white, two percent being hispanic, and six percent being 'two or more races.'
