That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
From the Book Review’s Inside the List column by Emily Eakin in 2018:
In 1978, Ron Stallworth was a 25-year-old officer on the Colorado Springs police force — the first black detective in the city’s history — when he rang David Duke, then the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. That call, part of a successful, if highly improbable, seven-month undercover operation Stallworth conducted into the Klan’s local chapter, has been memorialized on film by John David Washington, who plays Stallworth in this summer’s much lauded adaptation by Spike Lee of Stallworth’s memoir, “Black Klansman” (retitled for the movie as “BlacKkKlansman”).
