Ask Me About My Hat: Daryl Davis

This week, Ida interviews Daryl Davis about his remarkable work befriending and convincing Ku Klux Klan members to leave the klan. As an African American raised abroad, Daryl, a musician in his sixties, has a unique perspective on how to talk to people who have very different lived experiences. His bravery is showcased in his book, "Klan-destine Relationships" and also a documentary film, "Accidental Courtesy" made about his life. He tours the country talking to various groups and has convinced dozens of people to leave a life of hatred. Daryl makes a great analogy for listeners: you don't have to be on the Front Line of fighting racism-- but you do need to be on "a line"-- whichever one is best for you.
