Racially segregated movie theaters disappeared decades ago after court rulings struck down the legal framework of Jim Crow America, but another element of the era just wont die: Walt Disneys 1946 movie Song of the South.
āSong of the Southā is easily viewed on the internet either in whole or in pieces, and numerous websites offer versions of the movie or memorabilia for sale.
Some have reinterpreted old, racist films in a new way rather than simply screening them in their original format.
In āRebirth of a Nation,ā DJ Spooky (whose birth name is Paul D. Miller) trimmed the original film and applied new graphics and music he composed.
In a live performance during the 2016 presidential campaign, he spliced together the original film with scenes from the civil rights movement and post-9/11 wars.
