Our colleague, Dr. Cynthia Young (AFAM/ ENG/WGSS) was invited to submit an OpEd on the significance of Colin Powell’s legacy in The Guardian. It is out today, with the title: “Colin Powell: a career marked by Faustian bargains in service of war.” She offers a powerful account of the racist apartheid system that shaped the US military as Powell rose in its ranks, during wave upon wave of warfare.

This is excellent work! Congratulations on this important piece, Cynthia!
