Democrats Then & Now
(The BlackSphere) Back in 1929 Republican Teddy Roosevelt invited Jessie Williams DePriest, an African-American Woman to a Tea Party for Congressional wives.
In fact, she was the first African-American Woman to be invited to a social event at the White House but even then, Democrats were upset at the Tea Party as most would not even shake the hand of Mrs Oscar DePriest, wife of African-American Congressman Oscar Stanton DePriest (R-Illinois) serving from 1929-1935
Shove this little bit of Republican history in the face of Loony Liberal Lefties the next time they claim that Republicans are racists.
