Booker T. Washington
Booker T. Washington, the renowned African American leader and founder of Tuskegee Institute, was invited to the White House as a dinner guest in 1901 by President Theodore Roosevelt. This event was significant as it marked the first time an African American had been invited to dine with a President in the White House. However, it was also controversial and faced criticism from many white Americans.
It cannot be said with certainty that Frederick Douglass was the first African American invited to the White House. Certainly Douglass was the first African American **leader** invited for a formal interview, or audience, with the President.
