In addition: How many authentically important pieces of media, historical or artistic, have been taken from the eyes of the public due to licensing issues or rather censorship? For example the Disney film "Song of the South". Although it captures the racism of the "Jim Crow" era and I do not believe it should be shown to young children because of this issue. I do believe that it could be used as an effective teaching tool in either a film history class or in a class about media portrayal of the Black-American, and civil rights. Just as films about the Jewish Holocaust portray the evils of the Nazi regime. These films could be used as records of what we do not want to happen again, ie negative examples. George Santayana d.1952 said" Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it."
