Stokely Carmichael: We must unite and organize to fight racism!
This movie is based on the real life exploits of the Detective Ron Stallworth. He was the first black officer on the Colorado Springs police force, first went undercover to a Stokely Carmichael speech, and as a detective, set up the Ku Klux Klan investigation almost by accident. He got in contact the KKK after seeing an advertisement in the local paper and, after feigning a white racist attitude (including bemoaning a fictional black man dating his daughter), was invited to meet the chapter of the organization. A white colleague was used for the in-person Ron, and everything snowballed from there.
