Among Fortune 500 companies, less than one percent of CEOs are Black. According to Fortune, today, there are only four Black CEOs. Over the past two decades, there have only been 18 Black CEOs in total.

"Despite progress over the years, Black men continue to be underrepresented in the C-Suite, boards and executive leadership teams," said Dennis Kennedy, the founder and board chairman of the National Diversity Council.
