The first African-American President of an Ivy League Institution was Ruth J. Simmons. Simmons became the 18th president of Brown University in 2001, and still holds this position today.
William Grant Still was the first to actually do it. The first I know of that held notable positions were Henry Lewis, director of the New Jersey Symphony for some time, and Paul Freeman, who was Associate Conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in the early 1970's, and today conducts the Czech Philharmonic. I'm sure there are other examples, too.

The major difference between the President's Cabinet now and the President's office in the days of George Washington is the number of Cabinet positions that are needed today. George Washington only had a handful of advisors, while today there are more than that.

Organizational decisions that are still in effect include: the president has the right to veto laws; the president has two four-year terms; the president has a cabinet.

When the president calls cabinet meetings today, the primary purpose is to discuss and coordinate policies among the various executive departments. These meetings allow the president to gather input from cabinet members, address pressing national issues, and ensure alignment on the administration's goals and strategies. Additionally, they serve as a platform for cabinet members to report on their departments' progress and challenges. Overall, these meetings are crucial for effective governance and decision-making.
I think Obama had one cabinet meeting during is first term. They took a group picture, so that may have been its purpose. I suppose making introductions was another reason and Obama may have said something abut the goals of his administration and what he expected from his cabinet.
The President's cabinet is larger today than in Washington's time due to the expansion of the federal government's responsibilities and the complexity of modern governance. As the United States has grown, so have the range of issues and departments needed to address areas such as health, education, and homeland security. Additionally, the increasing need for specialized expertise in various fields has led to the creation of new cabinet positions to ensure effective administration and policy implementation. This reflects the evolving nature of the executive branch in response to societal and economic changes.

The word today is a possessive in the noun phrase "today's meeting" (meeting happening today). The word today is an adverb in the verb phrase "meeting today" (occurring today). The latter is unusual but not unseen in sentences such as "The President will be today meeting with his Cabinet" instead of "The President will be meeting with his Cabinet today" especially if there is a longer object such as "meeting the most vocal critics of his plan to end the ongoing crisis" where the "today" could be too far from the verb modified. More typically, the "today" is used to start the sentence.
