The T. Howard Foundation is saddened by the passing of General Colin Powell, a man of stature, dignity and respect.
His legacy is one that will be regarded and admired by those who appreciate what it must take to be a Black man and a leader of men and women. Colin Powell was the first Black man to serve as Secretary of State and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he served under five U.S. presidents.
While we mourn his passing, we are thankful for the masterclass he gave us in service and integrity.
We extend our condolences to Michael Powell, NCTA President & CEO, and his family during this difficult time and hope they find comfort in their wonderful memories.

President & CEO
