powell also played an important role in local community affairs. he served on the richmond school board from 1951 and was chairman from 1952 to 1961. powell presided over the school board at a time when the commonwealth of virginia was locked in a campaign of defiance against the supreme court's decision in "brown v. board of education". powell's law firm had represented one of the defendant school districts in the case that was decided by the supreme court under the "brown" label. powell did not take any part in his law firm's representation of that client school district. the lawsuit, "davis v. county school board of prince edward county", later became one of the five cases decided under the caption "brown v. board of education" before the supreme court of the united states in 1954.
