Ku Klux Klan, Reidsville, Georgia, 1966

A car being decorated for a Knights of the KKK meeting.

Baldwin recalls:

‘Driving through rural Georgia in 1966 I found, to my amazement,

cars being decorated to go to a Knights of the Ku Klux Klan meeting.

I stopped, overcame my fear,

and got permission to follow them to the meeting

and a cross rising on the steps

of the County Courthouse in Reidsville, Georgia,

where I completed the photography that night.’

Spike Lee talks to Gary Younge about BlacKkKlansman​ and racism under Trump

Video​        G        23 August 2018

Spike Lee’s latest film

is about a black cop who infiltrated the Klu Klux Klan

in the 1970s.

Based on a true story,

BlacKkKlansman draws clear parallels

with racial tensions in modern day America.

With Donald Trump in the White House,

the rise of white supremacy,

and a spike in racist attacks, what does a film

about a black man going undercover with white terrorists

tell us about the state of contemporary America and beyond?

Video

In Theaters August 10

A Spike Lee joint.

From producer Jordan Peele.

Based on some fo’ real, fo’ real sh*t.

From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee

comes the incredible true story of an American hero.

It’s the early 1970s,

and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington)

is the first African-American detective

to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Determined to make a name for himself,

Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission:

infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan.

The young detective soon recruits

a more seasoned colleague,

Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver),

into the undercover investigation of a lifetime.

Together,

they team up to take down the extremist hate group

as the organization aims to sanitize its violent rhetoric

to appeal to the mainstream.

Produced by the team

behind the Academy-Award® winning Get Out.

On This Day - March 22, 1965

From The Times archive

When the civil rights march
which started on this day
reached Montgomery two days later,
Dr King addressed a crowd of 25,000

DR MARTIN LUTHER KING today set off from Selma, Alabama, at the head of 4,000 civil rights demonstrators, on the Freedom March to the state capital at Montgomery. Before the march started Dr King led the demonstrators in prayer.

Montgomery is hardly the promised land, but today the barriers of the last fortnight were removed and the marchers made their final preparations under the reassuring if not wholly benevolent, gaze of several hundred steel-helmeted troops.

Those who made the attempted march two weeks ago and were repulsed with tear gas, truncheons and clubs, required no reminder of the necessity for this protection but, lest the nation forget, the discovery of at least four crude bombs at Negro buildings 100 miles away at Birmingham, served the purpose. In Montgomery a procession of 80 cars, led by Mr Robert Shelton, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, wound its way through the streets this afternoon in protest against the civil rights march.

In these dramatic circumstances the march was late in starting. An hour after he should have stepped off at the head of several thousand marchers, Dr King arrived at the Brown African Methodist Episcopalian chapel to deliver an address. His audience had been there for some time listening to other words of encouragement including some from Mr James Foreman of the student non- violent coordinating committee, who promised that the police state of Alabama would be done away with. “Hitler had his Storm Troopers: Wallace has his State Troopers,” he declared.

The march was described as the greatest demonstration for human dignity since the emancipation proclamation.

On This Day - March 22, 1965, Times, 22.3.2005.
