Francis Bowes Sayre, Jr. : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Bowes Sayre, Jr. Francis B. Sayre Jr. (January 17, 1915 – October 3, 2008) was Dean of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. for 27 years. He was the first grandchild of President Woodrow Wilson. He was a vocal opponent of segregation, poverty, McCarthyism, and the Vietnam War. In March 1965 he joined Martin Luther King Jr. on the voting-rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Sayre was unafraid to denounce Senator Joseph McCarthy, Republican from Wisconsin, during the hey-day of the latter's influence in the 1950s. In 1954, Sayre called McCarthy a “pretended patriot”, adding ''"There is a devilish indecision about any society that will permit an impostor like McCarthy to caper out front while the main army stands idly by."'' ==Early life and education== Sayre was born in the White House in 1915, the first grandchild of President Woodrow Wilson. Sayre's father, Francis Bowes Sayre, Sr., was a Harvard University law professor who later became an assistant secretary of state. His mother was President Wilson's daughter, Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre. He graduated from Williams College and received his divinity degree from the Union Theological Seminary. He was a chaplain in the Navy during World War II and later had a parish in Cleveland, Ohio.
