Thirty years ago, the face of Cincinnati's leadership was mostly male and white. Not any more.

In 1974, of the following 11 prominent positions in the community, only two belonged to African-Americans. Ted Berry was Cincinnati's mayor, and William Chenault served as the city's vice mayor. The only female was Jane Earley, the chairman of the University of Cincinnati's board of trustees.

Today, of those same 11 positions, all but one - the mayor's office - are held by African-Americans.

Of those leaders, five are women.
