Explanation:
On February 8, 1915 The Birth of a Nation made its premiere in Los Angeles at Clune's Auditorium. Although it was praised for its artistic and technical innovations, the film's treatment of the Civil War and Reconstruction and of the African Americans who had been freed from slavery proved highly controversial. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which had been founded in 1909, repeatedly petitioned authorities either to prohibit showing of the film or to excise the most offensive scenes. Although their efforts met with little success, the actions taken by the NAACP had the result of increasing the stature as well as the membership of the fledgling organization.
