In honor of Black History Month, we will be showing films that highlight the black experience in America as told by African-American directors and screenwriters.

From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee comes the incredible true story of an American hero. In the early 1970s, Ron Stallworth became the first African-American detective in the Colorado Springs police department. Determined to make a difference, he bravely set out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.
