Today, Dec. 16, 2000, General Colin Powell was appointed to the position of Secretary Of State of the United States of America by President-Elect George W. Bush. The first African-American ever to be so honored in our history.
This is a GREAT day in the history of our nation. I couldn't be more proud of the USA at this moment. General Powell, a man of great personal magnetism, dignity, and integrity, is an inspiration to all Americans that you can make it if you try.
