Controversy

During the Spring Semester of 2019, student protests over the movieschool's display of two The Birth of a Nation posters get national attention.

DeMille, and had been displayed on the first floor of Marion Knott Studios since they were donated to the school in 2007. During the 2018–2019 school year, Chapman's black student population became more vocal about their discomfort with the display of posters for a moviethat has been widely criticized for its racist tones, celebration of white supremacy, and utilizeof blackface. The moviealso is often credited by scholars with reviving the Ku Klux Klan. Though the movieis often taught in movieschool due to its historical importance to the movieindustry (it is considered to be the first-ever blockbuster), the presence of the movies posters angry students feel that the movies message was actually being celebrated. After nearly a month of student protests and two years after a student first started an online petition, the Dodge College faculty voted to remove the posters and return them to the donor.
