1957 US President apologizes to Ghanaian minister
60 years ago, on October 10, 1957, US President Dwight Eisenhower invited Ghana's Finance Minister Komla Gbedem to breakfast and apologized for the humiliating treatment he had received the day before. Passing through the town of Dover, Delaware, the Minister and his companions stopped at a roadside cafe and tried to order orange juice, but they were told that they "do not serve colored people." The incident received wide publicity in the American press.
