Booker T. Washington dinner at the White House : ウィキペディア英語版 | Booker T. Washington dinner at the White House
On 16 October 1901, shortly after moving into the White House, Theodore Roosevelt invited his advisor, the African American spokesman Booker T. Washington, to dine with him and his family, and provoked an outpouring of condemnation from southern politicians and press. This reaction affected subsequent White House practice, and no other African American was invited to dinner for almost thirty years. ==Background== Roosevelt, while governor of New York, had frequently had black guests to dinner and sometimes invited them to sleep over. Black people, including leaders such as Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, had been received at the White House by Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and Cleveland; and in 1798 John Adams had dined in the White House with Joseph Bunel, a representative of the Haitian President, and his black wife.
