Green pressed the CEOs further, asking whether there would be a woman or person of color at their banks in the next 10 years, to which some of the CEOs did raise their hands.

The panel testifying included the CEOs of Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, State Street Corporation, Bank of New York Mellon and Goldman Sachs.

The hearing was organized to review globally important banks 10 years after the financial crisis of 2008 that triggered a recession.
