Colin Powell, first Black US secretary of state, dies of Covid-19 complications amid cancer battle | CNN Politics
Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state whose leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, has died from complications from Covid-19, his family said on Facebook. He was 84.
From the article: Powell had multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body's immune response, as well as Parkinson's, Peggy Cifrino, Powell's longtime chief of staff, confirmed to CNN. Even if fully vaccinated against Covid-19, those who are immunocompromised are at greater risk from the virus.
Sad, but his legacy will always be undermined by presenting the false case against Iraq.
Covid my arse

Always remember him as the guy whose face got messed up in those photos vs Canterbury. Sounds like a ruthless game

I 100% already thought he was dead. RIP.
You and me both to be honest. There’s a few of that era who I would have no idea off the top of my head.
RIP 2021
