Film Studies Daily Log

Monday, October 12

tudents received a handout ("Mr. Griffith Goes to Washington") about the Washington, D.C. premieres of Birth of a Nation, including one at the White House. We discussed the handout briefly, then returned to watching the film, as the carpetbaggers head pursue their insidious crusade to crush the white South and to (gasp) elevate black people to full social equality.
