Brian Colbert was officially sworn in at Tuesday's Marin County Board of Supervisors meeting as the county's first Black board member in its 175-year history.

Brian Colbert, Marin County’s first Black supervisor, was sworn into office this week after the supervisors were serenaded by a trio of gospel singers. The singers were there at Colbert’s request. “Some of you are probably wondering why a gospel choir,” Colbert said after he had taken the oath of office.
