Daryl Davis, Klan-destine Relationships
Host Jimmy Tardy talks with Daryl Davis, world-class musician and owner of a closet full of Klan hoods and robes that were bequeathed to Daryl when their previous owners decided to renounce the Klan. Some of those previous owners include the former Imperial Wizard of the KKK (that's the national leader of the Klan for the rest of us...)
Daryl is an African-American man who grew up in Chicago and around the world as an, "emabssy brat" (his words). When he returned to the States, Daryl began to see racism all around him, and found himself the target of racist threats and violence. Instead of becoming afraid and turning away, Daryl decided to ask some Klan members, in person, "how can you hate me when you don't even know me?"
Listen as Daryl describes his efforts to bridge a cultural chasm and hear him encourage all of us to be part of overcoming hate and misunderstanding.
