Thousands of African Americans were fired from their civil service positions during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson. After he became president in 1913, Wilson introduced policies that led to the segregation of federal employees and the dismissal of many black workers. African American leaders who had hoped for a more progressive stance on racial issues were deeply disappointed by these discriminatory practices.
