    The Powell’s emigrated separately from Jamaica and settled in New York City. Luther Powell worked as a shipping clerk and the couple raised their children in the Hunt’s Point area of the Bronx. Their son, Colin Powell, became the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the first African American to serve as Secretary of State.
