In the section of this interview on Race, we may come as close as we can to figuring out where George W. Truett was in his day on race. As Keith Durso points out Wilson sent Truett to Europe for ten weeks during WWI to boost the morale of the troops. And Wilson had ties to Augusta Georgia and his first wife was from Rome Georgia.
Other online sites don't give Wilson this much benefit of the doubt on race, but I think it fair to assume George W. Truett's views on race not much different from Wilson as the "lean forward" portions of this segment on race attest.
Would like some other thoughts, acknowledging its tricky business to assume one's direction from good friends or mutually held esteem of an era
