In this week’s lecture we discussed the first wave of The Great Migration. As we learned, in the midst of this migration, the Ku Klux Klan reemerged and became a national organization. One of the catalysts for the reemergence of the KKK was the 1915 release of the film The Birth of a Nation. Please watch the short clip below and in 2-4 sentences give me your thoughts on Hollywood’s very first motion picture and its impact.
