For example, Woodrow Wilson has acted upon so many reform, but since he is a southern he permitted segregation. Majority of the African Americans stayed in the South doing agriculture work. They faced hate through literature. For example, Thomas Dixon’s novel The Clansman calls African American as “half child, half animal….”. In addition, their ability to vote is being denied over difficult exams, fees, and pure racism. Through the efforts of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B Du Bois more Africans are becoming more educated. With the education, the NAACP was formed to lead struggle to overturn legal and economic barriers to equal opportunity.
The impacts of the progressive reform have stood through time. For example, the U.S. Forest Service founded by Roosevelt and other more modern agency such as the EPA serve the purpose to protect nature. The FTC, the Federal Reserve, and the FDA still stand to help America function. Most similar to current day and the progressive era are the current social reforms and more aid to Planned Parenthood for necessities such as Birth Control. Current issues such as Health care, wage laws, housing are still issue that have been argued since the 20th
