By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
On March 21 1915 a motion picture was screened for the first time inside the White House. President Woodrow Wilson sat down to watch D.W. Griffith s The Birth of a Nation considered one of the most nakedly racist of all time. One hundred years later another film was screened at the White House this time at the invitation of the first African American president. The film was Selma.
