Abstract

The life of American President Woodrow Wilson was reviewed, focusing on the influence of Darwinism and Wilson's acceptance of a racist-eugenics worldview. This worldview resulted in Wilson's aggressive attempt to resegregate the federal bureaucracy based on race. Likewise, when president of Princeton University, Wilson did everything in his power to block Blacks from attending Princeton. Wilson's policies were based on his belief in the evolutionary inferiority of Blacks. This belief was a factor in causing the violent race riots that resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and causing many millions of dollars in damage.
