Here is the Daily Beast's take on Woodrow Wilson(prototype progressive):

Wilson was also the most disdainful racist to hold the presidency since Andrew Johnson in the 1860s. Wilson’s administration sought to remove black Americans from all but the most menial federal employment. Those who could not be removed were required to work in spaces screened from public view and to use segregated lunchrooms and toilets. When a black newspaper editor led a delegation to Washington to protest the introduction of Southern Jim Crow into the national government, Wilson—a slaveholder’s son—retorted that segregation “was not humiliating, but a benefit” to black people.
