He specifically addresses the "Wilson Myth" and attributes it to poor history textbooks.

From pages 12 and 13:

  What we did not learn about Woodrow Wilson is even more remarkable.  When I ask my college students to tell me what they recall about President Wilson, they respond with enthusiasm.  They say that Wilson led our country reluctantly into World War I and after the war led the struggle nationally and internationally to establish the League of Nations.  They associate Wilson with progressive causes like women's suffrage.  A handful of students recall the Wilson administration's Palmer Raids against left-wing unions. But my students seldom know or speak about two antidemocratic policies that Wilson carried out: his racial segregation of the federal government and his military interventions in foreign countries.  
  Under Wilson, the United States intervened in Latin America more often than at any other time in our history.  We landed troops in Mexico in 1914, Hati in 1915, the Dominican Republic in 1916, Mexico again in 1916 (and nine more times before the end of Wilson's presidency), Cuba in 1917, and Panama in 1918.  Throughout his administration Wilson maintained forces in Nicaragua, using them to determine Nicaragua's president and to force passage of a treaty preferential to the United States

From page 17:

  At home, Wilson's racial policies disgraced the office he held.  His Republican predecessors had routinely appointed blacks to important offices, including those of port collector for New Orleans and the District of Columbia and register of the treasury.  Presidents sometimes appointed African Americans as postmasters, particularly in southern towns with large black populations.

Woodrow Wilson, for whom many African Americans voted in 1912, changed all that.  A southerner, Wilson had been president of Princeton, the only major northern university that refused to admit blacks.  He was an outspoken white supremacist - his wife was even worse - and told "darky" stories in cabinet meetings.  His administration submitted a legislative program intended to curtail the civil rights of African Americans, but Congress would not pass it. Unfazed, Wilson used his power as chief executive to segregate the federal government. He appointed southern whites to offices traditionally reserved for blacks.  Wilson personally vetoed a clause on racial equality in the Covenant of the League of Nations.  The one occasion on which Wilson met with African American leaders in the White House ended in a fiasco  as the president virtually threw the visitors out of his office.
