'He's in our hearts': Family and friends still seek answers one year after Nathan Wise’s disappearance
It’s been a year since Nathan Wise went missing and his family is no closer to finding out what happened to him.
Colin Powell, the first Black U.S. secretary of state, had an accomplished military and political career that was later marred by his role in the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Powell, who died from COVID-19 complications at age 84, helped shape American foreign policy under several U.S. presidents including Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.
The son of Jamaican immigrants, Powell served during the Vietnam War and rose to the highest ranks of the national security establishment in the U.S. As the U.S. secretary of state under George W. Bush, he infamously made the case for U.S. invasion of Iraq before the U.N., using intelligence which was later revealed to be, by in large, incorrect.
Here are photographs of some of the important moments of Powell’s life.

Although Powell identified as a Republican, he didn’t always toe the party line. He endorsed the U.S. Democratic nominees Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton during their presidential runs. And after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, he said he could no longer call himself a Republican.
