Ep. 0251: DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson, Part 10
Finally, more than a year after Woodrow Wilson Part 9, CJ returns to the story of the man he loves to hate!
This time, we’re going to take a detour from the chrono-narrative of Wilson’s presidency; this one is going to focus on Wilson’s beliefs, statements & actions on race throughout his career as an academic & politician.
Was Woodrow Wilson a racist? The short answer is yes, without a doubt. But as is so often the case with history, the details are more complicated & more interesting than most people realize!
Join CJ as he does a deep-dive exploration into Woodrow Wilson’s beliefs, statements, & actions regarding race through his academic & political careers.
