I was talking to someone the other day when I found out she lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During the conversation I asked if she lived in Colorado Springs during the time Ron Stallworth became the first African-American detective at CSPD and whose police work was the subject of the movie
Blackkklansman.
You probably remember the award winning movie was directed by Spike Lee. He obtained the rights to Stallworth’s book and made it into an award-winning movie because it was Stallworth who infiltrated the KuKluxKlan white supremacist group and was instrumental in dismantling some of its national and state level power structure in Colorado.
