The Baltimore Ravens are no strangers to being at the forefront of making history when it comes to putting African Americans in positions of great power, influence, and prestige.
While they are only one of 13 teams that have yet to employ a black head coach, they’ve only been around since 1996 and have had just three head coaches in franchise history. However, they were the first organization to ever name an African American as their General Manager when they promoted Ozzie Newsome from vice president of player personnel to their official head front office executive in 2002.
