Woodrow Wilson: This So-Called Progressive was a Dedicated Racist

Recommendable! Woodrow Wilson together with FDR and LBJ was one of the worst U.S. presidents of the 20th century!


The article is incomplete as it does e.g. not mention the infamous movie The Birth of a Nation:
"The Birth of a Nation (originally called The Clansman) ... which mythologized the founding of the first [Klu Klux] Klan ...  is a landmark of film history. It was the first 12-reel film ever made and, at three hours, also the longest up to that point. ... was by far the most complex of any movie made up to that date. It was originally shown in two parts separated by another movie innovation, an intermission, and it was the first to have a musical score for an orchestra. It pioneered close-ups, fade-outs, and a carefully staged battle sequence with hundreds of extras (another first) made to look like thousands. It came with a 13-page "Souvenir Program". It was the first American motion picture to be screened in the White House, viewed there by President Woodrow Wilson."
