Guest of Honor: Booker T. Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and the White House Dinner That Shocked a Nation

According to the author, Roosevelt invited Washington to dine with him and his family at the White House on October 16, 1901, representing a clear breach in the code of racial etiquette for those familiar with the ways of the South. Some chapters are accompanied by only one or two endnotes, and many quotations cited throughout the work have no references whatsoever. [...]questionable assertions in the book are difficult to verify or cross-reference.
