Wilson and Civil Rights
During his first term in office, the House passed a law making racial intermarriage a felony in the District of Columbia. His new Postmaster General also ordered that his Washington offices be segregated, with the Treasury and Navy soon doing the same. Suddenly, photographs were required of all applicants for federal jobs. When pressed by black leaders, Wilson replied, "The purpose of these measures was to reduce the friction. It is as far as possible from being a movement against the Negroes. I sincerely believe it to be in their interest."
Control through Terror
During the progressive years, lynching of blacks reached alarming proportions. in 1910, mobs lynched 67 blacks and 9 whites. While the KKK, most well known for its anti-black activites, dissolved between 1880 adn 1915, local white groups terrorized blacks as a means of control.

As president, Wilson confronted a new generation of militant African American leaders, men like William Monroe Trotter, W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey, who had begun to challenge their more conservative elders - and the expectations and assumptions of much of white America.
