2/12/2021 – FORUM FRIDAYS: THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915) ????

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.
