In The Pilot, a Boston newspaper, an article is highlighted in which Grover Cleveland has denied rumors that he hosted an African American for dinner at the White House. The author of the article suggests that in another century, “civilized Americans” will regard the idea of an African American being invited to the White House with “little horror.”
