Information

Woodrow Wilson Sign

Woodrow Wilson, United States president from 1913 to 1921, studied at Davidson College during the 1873-1874 academic year. His name is listed on the sign (shown here) that identifies Davidson College as a North Carolina landmark, alongside the Presbyterian Church and General William Lee Davidson, two other prominent figures in the college’s history (Yi and Mellin 2018). Although the college frequently claims Wilson as a successful student and mark of prestige, he should also be remembered for his segregation of federal offices and civil servants and his praise of the previously-discussed (in PART 2) film “Birth of a Nation” (Ibid.; Mintz 2019).
