Both answers are incorrect.

Patricia Roberts Harris was the first African- American woman to serve in a president's cabinet. She served as Sec. of Housing and Urban Development under President Carter in 1977, then as Secretary of Health Education & Welfare in 1979 and remained as sec after the department was renamed the Dept of Health and Human Services in 1980. She served until Carter left office in 1981.
