Literally two presidents ago… Barack Obama. Or four presidents ago, Bill Clinton.
Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, Kamala Harris… there’s definitely a number of notable black figures in this country. We also have to keep in mind that black people are 12% of the US population so I wouldn’t expect them to be in every position possible 100% of the time.
If you’re more state specific too then in Cali we have our new state senator Laphonza Butler and Barbara Lee who is running for the position.
Those are all just recent history and notable people. We have plenty of notable black people in this country that the average American could name as you listed.

I didn’t know what they defined as “historical figures” so I went with people that are no longer alive. But these are also good examples.
Clinton. 😂
