Booker T Washington had his interest at heart? All he ever wanted was to educate is people, he is one of the most selfless and greatest African Americans or just Americans period to ever live
When Teddy Roosevelt was Governor of New York, he frequently had Black guests to dinner and sometimes invited them to sleep over. This was also not the first time African Americans were invited to dinner at the White House. In 1798, John Adams had dined in the President's House in Philadelphia with Joseph Bunel (a mulatto representative of the Government of Haiti) and his black wife. Black people, including leaders such as Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, had been received at the White House by Presidents like Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes and Grover Cleveland. At the invitation of First Lady Lucy Hayes, Marie Selika Williams became the first African American professional musician to appear at the White House.
