Description

The real-life film Birth of a Nation features heavily in this book. The film involves white men in blackface portraying the stereotype of Black men attempting to rape white women. The book discusses how people inspired by the film joined the Ku Klux Klan and lynched Black people, often under the auspices of protecting white women from rape.
