The effort to deport Marcus Garvey started in 1919, during the last years of the Woodrow Wilson Administration. Wilson, a famous Progressive and Academician, was also a virulent racist, doing his utmost, with the cooperation of the Southern Democrats, to put Negros (African Americans) back into 2nd class citizenship status. One famous and successful effort of his was to segregate the US Civil Service, which, under prior Republican Administrations, did much to lead Negros into middle class economic status.
