President Joe Biden s first cabinet is being described as the most diverse ever. The latest historic first is an openly gay cabinet secretary.
When George Washington convened the first cabinet meeting two centuries ago - though he didn t call it by that name - he enshrined the idea of promoting diverse perspectives at the heart of US government. Of course, back in 1791, all the voices in the room were white and male.
You won t find the cabinet mentioned in the lines of the Constitution, but the first president saw the value of advisers who could guide him on major issues while bringing different viewpoints to the table.
