When he became President Reagan's assistant for National Security Affairs, he was the first African American to serve in that position, as he's been in every office held since, including chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In '05, Powell joined a venture capital firm. He also serves on the board of the Council on Foreign Relations.
