Who was the first African-American guest invited to sleep at the White House?

• Sammy Davis, Jr.:Thanks to an invitation from Richard Nixon, Sammy Davis Jr. and his wife Altovise were the first African-American guests invited to sleep at the White House. The legendary entertainer forged a strong friendship with President Nixon, and in 1973, Davis stayed in the Lincoln bedroom as a guest of the president. A photograph of him embracing Nixon at the White House drew widespread criticism from black leaders who believed his values were misplaced. Davis later said he regretted supporting Nixon, accusing him of making promises on civil rights that he did not keep.
