Kendrick A. Clements (born February 7, 1939) is a retired history professor and author in South Carolina.
He wrote books about U.S. president Woodrow Wilson, who spent some of his childhood in South Carolina, as well as papers and books on James F. Byrnes, William Jennings Bryan, and Herbert Hoover.
[1][2][3][4][5][6] He retired from the University of South Carolina in 2006 and has emeritus status at the school.
[9] Clements wrote that Wilson, who segregated federal workers in the United States, "had none of the crude, vicious racism of James K. Vardaman or Benjamin R. Tillman, but he was insensitive to African-American feelings and aspirations.
"[13] His book on Herbert Hoover's environmental policies was described as exhaustive in a review.
