The Birth of a Nation

The Birth of a Nation

Directed by D.W. Griffith, The Birth of a Nation released in 1915 was deeply disturbing to anyone concerned about the state of race relations. It's impact was disastrous and the approval of it and the screening of it in the White House by President Woodrow Wilson is something I still find shocking.
