When detective Ron Stallworth, the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police Department, came across a classified ad in the local paper asking for all those interested in joining the Ku Klux Klan to contact a P.O. box, Detective Stallworth responded with interest. He used his real name while posing as a white man. He figured he would receive a few brochures in the mail, maybe even a magazine, and learn more about a growing terrorist threat in his community.
A few weeks later his office phone rang, and the caller asked Ron a question he never thought he would hear, “Would you like to join our cause?” This was 1978, and the KKK was on the rise in the United States. It was then that he began his journey undercover with the KKK. Stallworth went on to write a book about his experiences which is now a major motion picture.
Stallworth’s presentation at PPCC will be focused on how his education at PPCC influenced his career and life path, life in Colorado Springs at the time, and his experience in writing the book. He may also touch on the current state of America today as it relates to his past experiences.
PPCC is celebrating its 50th anniversary so bringing in an alum from the 60’s is a great tie-in to celebrate this milestone for us as a college. We started as El Paso Community College in 1968.
Presented by PPCC’s CETL (Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning), Student Life and The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and in partnership with Colorado College.
