The Today's Heroes series features everyday people who overcame great adversity to become modern-day heroes. Kids ages eight to twelve will be inspired by the compelling stories of courageous individuals who are making a real difference. In Today's Heroes: Colin Powell, learn the inspiring story of how an average kid from the Bronx grew up to become the first African-American ever appointed as Secretary of State.

Through hard work, faith, and perseverance, Colin Powell rose through the ranks to become the first African-American to ever serve as the nation's top military commander-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
