However, McDonald's is popular and just appointed a black CEO. Rosalind Brewer is a prospective future head of Wal-Mart - I'd be curious to see if she brings any more light. But fact is, there have only been 10-15 Fortune 500 black CEOs - ever. So there is going to be a distinct lack of people to remember in the first place.
