Woodrow Wilson And Renaming Our History (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

On American college campuses right now, there is a fever on to call out racism, confront history, and rename college buildings. The biggest call of all may be over Woodrow Wilson. The 28th president of the United States is revered for many things, but on race he now looks pretty bad. Undeniably bad. Racist. So, should his name come off Princeton’s famed Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs? Is that fair? Is that necessary? This hour On Point, American history, American racism, the American campus – and Woodrow Wilson. Plus, we’ll go to race and the police in Chicago. — Tom Ashbrook
