Klan We Talk?: A Black musician and a Klan leader walk into a room... 

An evening with Daryl Davis

Daryl Davis is a renowned blues and rock musician who’s toured the world playing with musical legends, including 32 years as Chuck Berry’s piano player. That’s his profession.

But Daryl also has a unique obsession: using civil conversation to ignite positive change with people who hate him because he’s Black – members of the Ku Klux Klan and other White supremacist groups.
