BOWLING GREEN, Ohio—A university in Ohio will remove from a campus theater the last name of an actress who starred in “The Birth of a Nation,” considered one of the most racist movies ever made.
The Blade reports Bowling Green State University trustees’ 7-0 vote Friday, May 3, to drop the last name of actresses Dorothy and Lillian Gish comes after the school’s Black Student Union raised concerns when the little-used theater was relocated to the student union.
