The birth of a nation

how a legendary filmmaker and a crusading editor reignited America's civil war

Presents an account of the public conflict between African American journalist Monroe Trotter and white filmmaker D.W. Griffith in the 1910s over Griffith's controversial film "The Birth of a Nation," which featured a heroic depiction of the Ku Klux Klan and a negative depiction of African Americans and white unionists. Trotter launched a crusade to have the film censored, inspiring future generations of civil rights activists.
