A Memoir

Black Klansman

En 1978, cuando Ron Stallworth —el primer detective negro en la historia del Departamento de Policía de Colorado Springs— encontró un anuncio clasificado en el periódico local pidiendo a todos los interesados ​​en unirse al Ku Klux Klan que se pusieran en contacto a través de un apartado de correos, hizo su trabajo y respondió con interés, usando su nombre real, pero haciéndose pasar por un hombre blanco. Imaginaba que recibiría algunos folletos y revistas por correo, y aprendería así un poco más sobre una creciente amenaza terrorista en su comunidad. Pero unas semanas más tarde sonó el teléfono, y la persona al otro lado le preguntó si le gustaría unirse a la causa supremacista. Stallworth contestó afirmativamente, arrancando así una de las investigaciones encubiertas más audaces e increíbles de la historia. Reclutó a su compañero Chuck para interpretar al Stallworth "blanco", mientras él mismo dirigía las conversaciones telefónicas posteriores. Durante la investigación, Stallworth saboteó quemas de cruces, expuso a los supremacistas blancos del Ejército e incluso se hizo amigo del mismísimo David Duke. Su increíble historia es el retrato abrasador de unos Estados Unidos divididos y de los extraordinarios héroes que se atrevieron a defender sus derechos.

Infiltrado en el KKKlan

· ADAPTED AS A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE BY SPIKE LEE · NOMINATED FOR SIX 2019 ACADEMY AWARDS & WINNER OF 'BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY' BAFTA · WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIX AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2018 · NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What happens when a black detective goes undercover in the KKK? An extraordinary true story. In 1978, Ron Stallworth is the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police Department. In the local paper, he finds a classified ad for the Ku Klux Klan - and a P.O. box for interested enquiries. All he's expecting are some racist brochures and a few scraps of information about the white nationalist terrorists in his community. What he gets is a phone call inviting him to join the KKK. So he does. Launching an undercover investigation of incredible audacity, Ron recruits his partner Chuck to play the 'white' Ron Stallworth, while Stallworth himself talks to the Klan over the phone. During his months-long investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings, exposes white supremacists in the military, and even manages to deceive the KKK "Grand Wizard" David Duke himself - dodging danger and reprisal at every turn... Black Klansman is an amazing true story and a rollercoaster of a crime thriller; a searing and timely portrait of a divided America and the extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back. ___________________ 'Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.' - Robert Kennedy ___________________ ‘Remarkable... Stallworth tells a surprising story’ – Daily Express

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

The title, "Bringing The Noise," is a term frequently used within the rap community to refer to the process of agitating the "system" (the institutions of government) or to instill a sense of "revolution." Gangster-reality rap illustrates and illuminates the dark side of the American dream for a large segment of America's youthful population. From the perceptual experiences of the rappers it is more of a nightmare. It literally screams at us to listen. As Academy Award winning actress, Grammy winning singer, and acclaimed movie director Barbara Streisand has stated, "Rap music may make your flesh crawl, but you can't ignore its message of hopelessness." You can like or dislike the messages in gangster-reality rap music. You cannot, however, ignore its rage and the conditions which--to the rappers--brought about that rage. You should not!

Bringing the Noise

"Tout a commencé un jour d'octobre 1978. Inspecteur à la brigade de renseignement de la police de Colorado Springs, j'avais notamment pour mission de parcourir les deux quotidiens de la ville à la recherche d'indices sur des activités subversives. Les petites annonces ne manquaient jamais de m'étonner. Parfois, entre stupéfiants et prostitution, on tombait sur un message qui sortait de l'ordinaire. Ce fut le cas ce jour-là. Ku Klux Klan Pour toute information : BP 4771 Security, Colorado 80230 Moi qui voulais de l'inhabituel, j'étais servi. J'ai décidé de répondre à l'annonce. Deux semaines plus tard, le téléphone a sonné. "Bonjour, je suis chargé de monter la section locale du Ku Klux Klan. J'ai reçu votre courrier." Merde, et maintenant je fais quoi"
