Spike Lee And Jordan Peele Set To Drop New Film Based On The True Story Of An African American Police Officer Who Successfully Infiltrated The KKK
Spike Lee and Jordan Peele are teaming up for another racially charged film called “Black Klansman.” Based on a true story, “Black Klansman” follows Ron Stallworth, an Africa-American police officer who some how successfully infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan back in the 70’s.
The story of Ron Stallworth, a detective in Colorado Springs, Colorado, who in 1978 answered an ad in the local newspaper seeking new Klan members. He not only gained membership, but rose through the ranks to become the head of the local chapter. Stallworth, who is black, was able to gather all sorts of intelligence by pretending to be a white supremacist on the phone or via other forms of correspondence but sent a white fellow officer in his place for any in-person meetings. During his undercover work, Stallworth managed to sabotage several cross-burnings and other activities of the notorious hate group.
Stallworth, who will be played by Washington, wrote about his experience in a 2014 book titled Black Klansman. The title is not connected to The Black Klansman, a Blaxploitation revenge thriller from 1966 that told of an African American man who goes deep into the KKK in order to seek vengeance for the death of his daughter.
Denzel Washington’s son John David Washington is slated to play Ron.
Y’all think this one will be another one for the record?
