Federal segregation

Why is it not mentioned in the article that segregation was the police under the Woodrow Wilson Government?

It is lightly touched upon in the civil rights section of the article but only mentioned as "Cabinet heads appointed by President Wilson re-segregated restrooms and cafeterias in their buildings." Whereas in reality whole federal services became segregated, with African Americans in supervisory positions being fired or demoted, workplaces physical segregated and stopped to hire African Americans, at least for supervisory positions.

Why is this racist history of the Wilson Presidency being hidden away?Jochum (talk) 03:00, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source (see WP:RS) which states it in those terms? Tarl N. (discuss) 06:48, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here about the segregation of the Railway Mail Service: https://postalmuseum.si.edu/AfricanAmericanHistory/p5.htmlJochum (talk) 20:21, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have here information from the national postal museum about segregation of federal services under Woodrow Wilson, see above. As nobody seems to want to discuss it, or brings another view, I will put the gist of this source into the article sometime in the next week.Jochum (talk) 08:13, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this part of Wilson's legacy needs to be included in the article. Grantmidnight (talk) 13:04, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is primarily a whitewash (no pun intended). Missaeagle (talk) 15:33, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]


There is a sub-sub-section on "Civil Rights" in the second term of his presidency. This clearly should be a separate section, perhaps titled "Race Relations". I will move this, then we can add additional material. Grantmidnight (talk) 03:05, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Education

Shouldn't the box on the right include Davidson College along with Princeton and JHU? Granted he didn't graduate but still received some education there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.112.8.138 (talk) 05:25, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wilson did not oversee the New Deal in 1933.

Some of Franklin Roosevelts policies appear in paragraph 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.68.100 (talk) 01:20, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 11 April 2017

Please change "one of the five residential colleges" to "one of the six residential colleges" under the Legacy section. Whitman College was inaugurated in 2007.
