On this day in 1902: Future U.S. President Woodrow Wilson became president at Princeton University, where he remained until deciding in 1910 to run for governor of New Jersey. Wilson, an 1879 Princeton grad, called on fellow alumni in 1910 to help reconstruct colleges to develop students into people serviceable to the nation with “the same sympathies as the common people.” Wilson, a Virginia native, was later criticized for instituting segregationist policies within the federal government while president and discouraging Black people from attending Princeton. |

In 1978: Latter-Day Saints leadership ended their religious prohibition of Black men serving in the church as priests.
