flupox14,

I'm betting the person for whom you are looking is United States
Secretary of State Colin Powell.

The London Daily Telegraph Online has a biography of him on their "War
on terrorism: Key figures" page:

"Colin Powell (1937- )
Colin Powell was born in New York City on April 5, 1937 and was raised
in the South Bronx...
His last [US Army] assignment, from October 1, 1989 to September 30,
1993, was as the 12th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the
highest military position in the Department of Defence. During this
time, he oversaw 28 crises, including Operation Desert Storm in the
victorious 1991 Gulf war.
He was sworn in as the 65th Secretary of State on January 20, 2001. He
is the first Afro-American to hold the position."
