520 Relates how African American detective Ron Stallworth went
undercover to investigate the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado
Springs in 1978, describing how he disrupted Klan
activities and exposed white supremacists in the military
during the months-long investigation
520 "The extraordinary true story of a black police officer
who goe undercover to investigate the KKK, the basis for
the forthcoming major motion picture directed by Spike Lee
and produced by Jordan Peele. When detective Ron
Stallworth, the first black detective in the history of
the Colorado Springs Police Department, comes across a
classified ad in the local paper asking for all those
interested in joining the Ku Klux Klan to contact a P.O.
box, he responds with interest. He figures he'll receive a
few brochures in the mail, maybe even a magazine, and
learn more about a growing threat to his community. A few
weeks later the office phone rings, and the caller asks
Ron a question he thought he'd never have to answer,
'Would you like to join our cause?' This is 1978, and the
KKK is on the rise in the United States. Its Grand Wizard,
David Duke, has made a name for himself, appearing on talk
shows and in major magazine interviews preaching a
"kinder" Klan that wants nothing more than to preserve its
heritage. Ron answers the caller's question that night
with a yes, launching what is surely one of the most
audacious and incredible undercover investigations in
history. Ron recruits his partner Chuck to play the
'white' Ron Stallworth, while Stallworth himself conducts
all subsequent phone conversations. During the months-long
investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings,
exposes white supremacists in the military, and even
manages to deceive David Duke himself. Black Klansman is
an amazing true story that reads like a crime thriller.
It's a searing portrait of a divided America and the
extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back."--Jacket
