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.
Theodore Roosevelt famously invited Booker T. Washington, an African American educator and leader, to the White House in 1901. This invitation was significant as it marked the first time a Black leader was welcomed to the residence, symbolizing a step towards racial equality during a period of widespread segregation. Roosevelt's gesture was controversial and sparked criticism from some Southern leaders, but it underscored his commitment to addressing racial issues in America.
