This five-week seminar will examine the changing characterizations of African Americans in film since D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915). While there is a rich history of African Americans in film both behind and in front of the camera, film scholar Donald Bogle states, “No racial group or ethnicity was more blatantly distorted than African Americans.”
