Jessie DePriest tea at the White House
In 1929, US First Lady Lou Hoover invited Jessie DePriest, the wife of black Republican Chicago congressman Oscar DePriest, to tea at the White House. Southern politicians and journalists responded with vitriolic attacks.
==Background==
Blacks, including leaders such as Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, had been received at the White House by Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Coolidge and Cleveland. In 1798 President John Adams had dined in the White House with Joseph Bunel, a representative of the Haitian President, and his black wife, and in 1901 Theodore Roosevelt had had Booker T. Washington to dinner.〔
The Chicago district represented by Oscar DePriest had a reputation for corruption, and until then the couple had been shunned by Washington's high society. It was a White House tradition, though, for the first lady to entertain congressional wives at tea, and she and the president never considered snubbing DePriest. She invited DePriest to the last of a series of five teas, and made sure the other guests were women who would deal kindly with her.〔
