What was President Wilson response to African American protesters against segregation in the federal civil service?

President Woodrow Wilson's response to African American protesters against segregation in the federal civil service was largely dismissive. Although he had initially expressed a commitment to civil rights, his administration implemented segregationist policies that marginalized African American workers. Wilson's indifference to the protests and the concerns raised by Black leaders reflected a broader pattern of racial discrimination during his presidency, ultimately disappointing many who had hoped for progressive change.
