Reviews
"[Davis] does an excellent job of sketching the backgorund of this remarkable period." -- Wilmington Star News, "A well-researched, highly readable treatment of an important era in racial relations, encapsulated in the meeting of two of the era's most significant men." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "This is history that excites. This is history that inspires. And this is history that will make readers sit up all night." -Betty DeRamus, author of Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories from the Underground Railroad and Freedom by Any Means., "It is valuable because it gives us not only a picture of how things have changed in the century since TR was President but also how much really hasn't changed." -- The Moderate Voice, "In fluid prose and with clear respect for her subject matter, Davis paints a vivid picture of race relations at the turn of the 20th century a story resonating with today's fraught political and racial landscape." Publishers Weekly, "Provide[s] a panoramic view of America at the turn of the 20th century. . .Davis's book is a marker of how far the country has come." -- Washington Post, "Valuable because it gives us not only a picture of how things have changed in the century since TR was President but also how much really hasn't changed." -- The Moderate Voice

Synopsis
In this revealing social history, one remarkable White House dinner shines a powerful light on race, politics, and the lives and legacies of Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington. In this revealing social history, one remarkable White House dinner becomes a lens through which to examine race, politics, and the lives and legacies of two of America's most iconic figures. In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to have dinner at the executive mansion with the First Family. The next morning, news that the president had dined with a black man sent shock waves through the nation. Fueled by inflammatory newspaper articles, political cartoons, and even vulgar songs, the scandal escalated and threatened to topple two of America's greatest men. In this smart, accessible narrative, one seemingly ordinary dinner becomes a window onto post-Civil War American history and politics, and onto the lives of two dynamic men whose experiences and philosophies connect in unexpected ways. Deborah Davis also introduces dozens of other fascinating figures who have previously occupied the margins and footnotes of history, creating a lively and vastly entertaining book that reconfirms her place as one of our most talented popular historians., In this revealing social history, one remarkable White House dinner shines a powerful light on race, politics, and the lives and legacies of Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington. In this revealing social history, one remarkable White Hou
