Princeton, November 21 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of New Jersey, Princeton students have ended a 32-hour sit-in at the university president's office after administrators signed a commitment to begin conversations about addressing campus racism.
The sit-in began Wednesday amid massive national student protests. Princeton students are demanding the removal of Woodrow Wilson's name. As president, Wilson ordered the re-segregation of restrooms and cafeterias in Washington government buildings.
In several federal offices, Woodrow Wilson ordered screens to be set up to separate black and white workers. His racist views were so widely known at the time, W.E.B. Du Bois wrote an Open Letter to Woodrow Wilson in which he called Wilson's policies the "gravest attack on the liberties" of African Americans since Emancipation.
