Three Films and an Assessment of Racism: Exploring Race and Society in Early American Film.
Films that were made prior to the Civil Rights Era tend to display the views of the day within them, not simply the status of race in the time represented within such works. This paper assesses the concepts of race relations as are presented in the films Cimarron (Wesley Ruggles; 1931), Birth of the Nation (D.W. Griffith; 1915), and Within Our Gates (Oscar Micherux; 1920).
