failed
Answer

The answer is: They segregated federal employees and largely ignored calls for racial justice from Black leaders.

Explanation
Option 1: They publicly challenged Jim Crow segregation laws in the Southern states.

This option is incorrect. Woodrow Wilson and his administration did not take a public stance against Jim Crow laws. In fact, they did not challenge these segregation laws and practices.

Option 2: They invited Booker T. Washington to speak at the White House.

This option is incorrect. While Booker T. Washington was invited to the White House by President Theodore Roosevelt, there is no record of Woodrow Wilson extending a similar invitation during his presidency.

Option 3: They segregated federal employees and largely ignored calls for racial justice from Black leaders.

This option is correct. Woodrow Wilson's administration is known for having implemented segregation in federal offices, which was a significant step backward for racial equality. Wilson and his cabinet largely ignored the pleas from Black leaders for racial justice and equality.

Option 4: They sought the support of W.E.B. Du Bois in the election of 1916.

This option is incorrect. W.E.B. Du Bois was a prominent critic of Wilson's racial policies and did not support Wilson in the 1916 election. Instead, Du Bois was more aligned with the progressive movements that opposed Wilson's segregationist policies.
