Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation was released, it was hailed as an artistical triumph by no less than the President of the United States, *Herbert Hoover. The film justifies the existence of the Klu Klux Klan (a terroristic hate group) as the nation’s protectors of whites against black men, who were depicted in the film as lazy, drunkards who rape…
