US Senate confirms first Black service chief in 'historic' vote

The Senate on Tuesday unanimously confirmed General Charles Brown Jr as chief of staff of the US Air Force, making him the first Black officer to lead one of the nation's military services.

Vice President Mike Pence took the unusual step of presiding over the vote, something he usually does to break ties. But Brown's confirmation, 98-0, was not close. Pence called the moment "historic".

The vote came as the Trump administration and the mostly white Senate Republican conference grapple with the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

Protests have convulsed the nation alongside the coronavirus pandemic, with racial discrimination being the common thread between them. The vote in Washington, DC overlapped with Floyd's funeral in Houston.

You are the one getting it wrong, Colin Powell was not a service chief. This man, Charles Brown is the first ever black man to be appointed as service chief in the US military.

He is president Trump's nominee so the Republicans were always going to vote for him black lives matter or not. Maybe you should be questioning the democrats why they all voted for Trump's nominee.

Trump is just playing politics.
He nominated him thinking the Democrats will not vote him and in turn used it against them

Ok..thought Collin Power was..but it seems he was just the joint chief of staff ( our own equivalent of chief of defense staff ) and then the secretary of state...and National security adviser..

So this is correct..

Congratulations to Gen Brown

See as him resemble Igbo with that light complexion and flat skull like Nnamdi kanu; you can tell the same blood flowing through him from Igbo ancestors. Yorubbas above fighting and arguing, does he look like you people? You are Hamite black, not Black Hebrews like Igbos and African Americans.

Get Collins Powel was the Chairman, Joint Chief of Staff.

Service Chiefs include the heads of the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Chairman of Joint Chief of Staff.

the US Senate does not need a single Democrats vote to confirm any nominee.

Trump nominated him because he is qualified and next in line.

he is not like buhari/Abba kyari who will force the most senior ranking members of any sector into retirement so he could appoint a Fulani
