Nearly three dozen major U.S. companies including Amazon, General Motors, Target and Wells Fargo have agreed to share the diversity reports they file each year with the federal government.

News organizations including USA TODAY have fought for the disclosure of this demographic information. Only in recent years have some of the nation's top companies opened up about the persistent lack of diversity in their ranks, particularly at the highest levels.

A USA TODAY analysis showed that, while corporations and boardrooms have added African Americans over the decades, the executive suite has not, even at companies that have diverse boards. Nearly all – 48 – issued statements in support of the Black community following Floyd's death May 25, an unprecedented outpouring after decades of corporate silence.

Many of these megacompanies are still led by all-white executives in the top five slots listed on proxy statements – the CEO, the chief financial officer and three other top-paid executives. In some cases, companies also list other top-paid officers who recently left. In all 279 listed executives appear on the 50 proxy statements examined by USA TODAY.
