5. President Woodrow Wilson was a virulent racist.

"While Wilson's tenure is often noted for progressive achievement, his time in office was one of unprecedented regression in racial equality, with his presidency serving as the lowest point of the nadir of American race relations.[1]"

"As Wilson named white supremacists to the highest levels of his administration, African Americans were appointed in record low numbers."

"Upon taking office, Wilson fired all but two of the seventeen black supervisors in the federal bureaucracy appointed by Taft.[48][49] Wilson flatly refused to even consider African Americans for appointments in the South."
