Daryl Davis is an R&B musician that has spent time with more klans men then anyone can ever imagine for over 30 years. Friendship is the key for his success, Over 200 men have given up the KKK robes, not only the robe also racism. Davis collects and keeps them as a reminder of his achievements*.
“How can you hate me if you don’t even know me?”"It's important to learn about someone else while you are teaching them passively". Said Davis**
Race relations are at an all time low, I don't believe its because the Klan is growing in numbers but because we refuse to engage with one another. The political atmosphere is saturated with hot heads, race baiters and moraly corrupt politicians.
