I went to Woodrow Wilson High in Long Beach—won’t be long until they go after that. Anyway, for those who don’t know, Wilson was (besides being a racist) a nationally famous history professor at Princeton, who became college president, governor of New Jersey, and, of course President of the US. I imagine there’s lots of things named for him on campus. So there’s going to have to be a lot of erasing.
it is amazing to see how many schools are named after Wilson, many even in low income black communities, educating the very people he thought of as inferior.
