It’s November 17th. In 1914, activist William Monroe Trotter confronted President Wilson, in the Oval Office, over the treatment and degradation of Black Americans. Wilson became enraged at the conversation and threw Trotter out of the White House.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the heated moment, the larger Jim Crow context for the confrontation, and Trotter’s larger legacy.
