He was a decorated military leader and the first African American to become US Secretary of State.
Now, flags across the United States are being flown at half-staff to mourn the death of Colin Powell, who died Monday at age 84 from COVID-19 complications.
Powell is being remembered as a trailblazer, but his reputation was tarnished over his faulty claims to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Years later, Powell called those claims a permanent 'blot' on his record.
