Stallworth launched an undercover investigation into the Klan, gained membership into the organization, briefly served as Klan leader David Duke’s bodyguard, and was eventually asked to be the leader of the Colorado Springs chapter. The irony of this investigation was that Stallworth is… A Black man. In the process he battled internal departmental politics to successfully pull off this “sting.” The new Spike Lee film, released nationwide yesterday, Black Klansman shows how he overcame these obstacles and accomplished this almost unbelievable unique achievement.

This is a great movie, and you’ll love the interviews.

Enjoy.
