Even among Harvard MBAs, few black women ever reach corporate America’s top rungs
In recent months, Corporate America’s corner office has actually gotten a little less diverse — not more — when it comes to the number of African-Americans.

And with the departure of former CEO Ursula Burns from Xerox, announced in 2016, there are no black female CEOs leading companies in the S&P 500 index.
