Lillian Gish, one namesake of the theater, starred in “The Birth of a Nation,” a film credited with the resurgence of the Klu Klux Klan. Her appearance in this 1915 film prompted BSU members to bring their concerns to university administrators. The union theater was renamed to the Gish Film Theater after the original location of the Gish, Hanna Hall, began renovations. “It’s impacted the way black people have lived in this nation,” Kyle Thompson, political action chair of BSU, said of “The Heinz Apartments 334 N. Main Frazee Avenue Apts 425 E. Court Street Birth of a Nation.” “This is basically like having a confederate statue on campus,” Thompson said, prompting some attendees to snap or clap in agreement. Brandon Seifert, a BGSU student, believes the Gish should remain at the university. LIVE CLOSE TO CAMPUS! Seifert, at the townhall, read a prepared statement to defend his stance. “A staple of the early American film industry, she’s described as an excellent actress and an inspiration for actors and actresses worldwide,” Seifert said regarding Lillian Gish. “I don’t know what her motivations were for appearing in ‘The Now Leasing for 2019 Best of Birth of a Nation.’ Actors and actresses play controversial roles all the time.” Best of BG 2015–2018 Voted Best Landlord Seifert said the historical context of the film should be considered since “every historical BG figure from 50 to 100 years ago is racist by today’s standards. If we go on a witch hunt, we risk defaming and erasing the names of influential figures because they held the popular opinion at the time, however horrible that opinion may be.” According to a chronology of the theater in the BGSU library archives, the dedication of the theater was based on honoring “silent film actresses and Ohio natives.” Lillian Gish made her first film appearance in Rising Sun, Ohio, a village within 19 miles of Bowling Green.
