The book became a stage play, which, in 1915, #DWGriffith adapted for the screen as “Birth of a Nation”. President #WoodrowWilson hailed it as “history written with lightning” & showed it at the White House to further its #racist myths.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1915, #DWGriffith's sprawling three-hour epic #TheBirthOfANation had its première in Los Angeles. A technical masterpiece of early cinema, its subject matter is reprehensible -- a celebration of the #KuKluxKlan and the #Confederate cause in the #CivilWar.
To give actors & filmmakers creative control, #UnitedArtists was founded on #ThisDayInHistory in 1919, by #CharlieChaplin, #MaryPickford, #DouglasFairbanks, & #DWGriffith. With a #socialist in Chaplin & a vicious #racist in Griffith, the company was comfortable with controversy.

DYK the (Catholic) National Board of Censorship of Motion Pictures formed in 1909? It cut 400 of 18,000 feet of film out of “Heart of an Outlaw” by #DWGriffith. Kisses could not last more than three feet of film.
