Born in the Delta in Elizabeth, Mississippi, on April 20, 1942, Mr. Sank Powe was one of five children born to Sank Powe and Sallie Lee Lott Powe. Mr. Powe's parents encouraged and urged him to finish high school and pursue higher education.

Growing up, Mr. Powe often worked in the cotton fields for meager wages.
