About this episode

Colin Powell, the first Black man to hold many key positions in Washington, has died from Covid-19 complications.

From why he decided not to run for president in the ‘90s to why he endorsed every Democrat since Barack Obama in 2008, you’ll hear from Powell himself speaking on major political moments throughout his decades-long career.
