Thomas Dixon
Thomas Dixon Jr. (1864-1946) was an American author and playwright best known for his novel 'The Klansman,' which served as the basis for D.W. Griffith's controversial film 'The Birth of a Nation.' Dixon's works often reflected his views on race and the South's post-Civil War society, promoting a narrative that glorified the Ku Klux Klan as a heroic force in American history. His writings played a significant role in shaping early 20th-century attitudes towards race relations in the United States and contributed to the resurgence of the KKK during that era.
