Black Earth Rising goes beyond that.

BlacKkKlansmanmovie

Spike Lee's "BlacKkKlansman" has reaffirmed the genius of the producer.  The movie follows in the footsteps of "Malcom X".  BlacKkKlansman highlights the contemprary racial issues in America, the way Malcom X did for the 60's. The real hero, Ron Stallworth, played by John David Washington, the first black officer to work for the Colorado Springs Police Department, who launched a covert investigation into the Ku Klux Klan planning criminal acts of violence, is a role model.
