The Birth of a Nation
from Your Weekly Constitutional · host Stewart Harris
Boston University journalism Professor Dick Lehr has written a new book about a film that is perhaps the greatest in American history - and the most racist. Is censorship justified in such a situation, where great art is created for a terrible cause? It's been a century, and we're still arguing about that one. Join us for a fascinating historical discussion with great current relevance.And then, just for good measure, we'll have an update on the Declaration Project from our good friend, Chris Phillips, author of Democracy Café. This time, Chris isn't content with rousing the over-21 rabble -- he wants to empower children, too.Teenagers of the world, unite!
