Another Open Letter to Woodrow Wilson by W.E.B. DuBois
Agree that Woodrow Wilson was a racist. Probably about 90 of the white population of the U.S. right around World War One were also racists.

This is like arguing that because the Founding Fathers were racist and sexist the Tea Party members who want to go back to their original intentions are also racists. Barack Obama, Jon Stewart, George Clooney and other well known progressivists hardly share the same views as President Wilson.
