Birth of A Nation Screening – Abortedby builder123 Monday, Aug. 16, 2004 at 7:34 PMLos Angeles August 9th --- The screening of “Birth of a Nation”, considered by many more Ku Klux Klan recruitment film than 1915 silent movie classic was cancelled today. Activists groups including the Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive to African People and the International Action Center persuaded Charlie Lustman, owner of the “Silent Movie Theater” on Fairfax Ave. to cancel rather than offend an outraged community.
Civil Rights groups set up in front of the movie house to voice opposition and greet movie fans. D.W. Griffith's flick inspired from a Ku Klux Klan propaganda piece entitled "Clansman" inspired hate against blacks after its debut and continues to spark controversy.
