"He still has several more appointments, and we expect that we'll see at least the same diversity that we saw the first time around. What we're hoping to see is a black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court," Jealous said.
The civil rights advocate went on to tout rising Democratic star Kamala Harris, who is currently serving as attorney general in California.
"Kamala Harris would be a brilliant pick. I personally would like to see somebody young who could stay on there for decades," he said.
President Obama's first three major appointments for his second term were all white males: John Kerry for Secretary of State, Jack Lew for Treasury and Chuck Hagel for Defense.
