Why does the Booker T. Washington page have the "Conservatism in the United States" sidebar?

[edit]

Why does the Booker T. Washington page have the "Conservatism in the United States" sidebar? That doesn't make sense. Is this an attempt by a right wing editor to co-opt his legacy? The edit was made in June 2023. 2600:1700:8530:68A0:3CA2:DBC9:5B46:B06E (talk) 11:01, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neither in the article nor anywhere else that I have seen is there anything justifying this classification. Checking the editing history, I see that thus was added to the article with tge only reason given being that "someone" (unspecified) had put Washington on some (unidentified) "conservatism list". This does not seem to be adequate justification, and since it has been contested I shall remove it. JBW (talk) 17:30, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was his dinner with Roosevelt “the first time a black person publicly met the president on equal terms”?

Was his dinner with Roosevelt “the first time a black person publicly met the president on equal terms”? The Wikipedia page for this dinner lists several prior instances of US Presidents hosting black people at the White House. Walter Evertonshire (talk) 04:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
