Hello!
During 1912 many African Americans and Civil Rights' leaders supported Woodrow Wilson as candidate, but later on they were dissapointed by what he did as president of the United States. During his first term as president, he allowed his cabinet members to segregate government offices. Because of this discriminatory policy, he had to face the criticism of Civil Rights' leaders like William Trotter who wanted to meet him to express the coloured people's discomfort. During this meeting, President Wilson ordered him to go out of the White House. These were the actions that led to the dissapoinment of Civil Right advocates.
I hope this may help you
