It's been 100 years since the "Birth of A Nation" movie

Wilson watched the film along with Assoc. Justice of the US Supreme Court Edward White. White was originally from Louisiana and a member in 1876 of the White League (the KKK without masks) which redeemed Louisiana from Yankee Reconstruction (i.e., killed all those who disagreed with their goals). After the viewing, Wilson allegedly turned to White and said that is exactly what happened. White agreed enthusiastically.
