It: Welcome to Derry Creators On Bringing The Black Spot To Life

Readers of Stephen King’s original novel, It, will likely remember “The Black Spot” and find its story heartbreaking. In the 1986 book (and in the 1962 setting of It: Welcome to Derry), The Black Spot was a community center and safe space for Black soldiers and residents. Tragically, it was firebombed by a white supremacist group called The Main Legion of White Decency, with the intention of killing everyone inside.
