it was trotter who grabbed my attention.ars ago, an article i was reading in a made a reference to trotter, a newspaperman and civil rights leader. and i live in boston, i am a journalist, i teach there. i did not really know him. it embarrassed me in a way for all of the reasons i just mentioned. i started reading further and realized what a big deal he was in the early 1900s, a forgotten civil rights leader who in the early 1900 would've been mentioned in the same breath as booker t. washington, web dubois. i was going, maybe a biography in this guy? he was advocating a new strategy in civil rights and challenging booker t. washington. i learned there was a biography written 40 years ago that as long out-of-print of print that was titled "the guardian," the name of his weekly newspaper. i said, there's a place for a new biography. but then i got to 1915 and just the surface in some of these references to how he was at the forefront of this extended protest against the movie that i knew about. that was my "aha!" moment. i s

trotter is a newspaperman. he is the editor of a black weekly newspaper. you would think he would be waving the first amendment and are. -- banner. that is another thing that requires going back in time, developing context, and how learning that dubois and trotter were both uncomfortable. now we're talking about civil liberties. art, expression and limiting or restricting it, banishing it outright. they were uncomfortable with that. to really drill down, why do they do it? first of all, for a couple of reasons that are fascinating, the first amendment was not anywhere nearly as robust as we take it for granted today. secondly, this is the front end of this new medium. the supreme court of the united states the month before the film opened in boston had ruled unanimously in a case out of ohio that film did not come under the first amendment protection at all. it did not warrant constitutional protection. it was viewed as a business, pure and simple, subject to government regulation. this is the mindset of the time. but even as you engaged in the free speech
