President Woodrow Wilson and the Betrayal of the African-American Community Presented by Syl Woolford
OnlineFuture President Wilson ran as a progressive candidate, and was supported early on by African-American leaders like Ida B. Wells-Barnett, William Monroe Trotter, and Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois. He surprised supporters once in power, pursuing regressive, segregationist racial policies.
