FORT WAYNE, IN (Indiana's NewsCenter) --- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell breezed into Fort Wayne Tuesday for a speaking engagement.

Powell was the featured presenter at a "Get Motivated" seminar held at the Memorial Coliseum.

About six thousand people attended the event where the Reverend Dr. Robert Schuller also talked about reaching your goals.

We understand a small number of Iraq War protesters set up outside the Coliseum briefly, criticizing Powell's role in launching the U.S. invasion of Iraq five years ago.
