W. E. B. Du Bois - The Birth of a Nation
Time: Monday Feb 8, 1915
Place: U.S.
Details: Du Bois used his influential role in the NAACP to oppose a variety of racist incidents. When the silent film The Birth of a Nation premiered in 1915, Du Bois and the NAACP led the fight to ban the movie, because of its racist portrayal of blacks as brutish and lustful.
