We reviewed more than 900 officials and executives in prominent positions and found that just 20% identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, multiracial or otherwise a person of color.

Here are the faces of power in America today. https://nyti.ms/32j0qc0 
The White House:

President Trump’s cabinet is more white and male than any first cabinet since Ronald Reagan’s.
Corporate America:

Less than a quarter of the most valuable public companies in the U.S. have a chief executive of color. There are now fewer Black chief executives leading Fortune 500 companies than there were less than a decade ago.
The House of Representatives:

A quarter of the representatives are people of color, making the current class the most diverse ever. Fourteen states, however, have yet to elect a Black, Asian or Hispanic official to Congress, according to data collected by the House.
The Police:

More than half of the 25 largest police forces in the U.S. are run by people of color — the most diverse set of leaders among the categories we reviewed. However, this diversity in leadership has not served as a guarantee against the targeting of marginalized groups.
Higher Education:

Among the universities ranked in the top 25 by U.S. News and World Report, none are led by Asian or Black academics, and only one school is led by a Hispanic president.
Television and Hollywood:

The heads of the biggest studios, streaming services, broadcast networks and cable channels reflect a trend that pervades Hollywood. White actors dominate screens, and white directors are overrepresented behind the camera.
Music:

For an industry that owes much of its fortunes to Black artists, there are few executives of color.
