As the nationwide debate over race and racism continues, we want to check in with someone tackling the issue in an unusual way: by making friends with members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Daryl Davis is a Black blues musician and author who has spent many years of his life forming these relationships. Many members have left the KKK after talking with him.
Davis joins host Jane Clayson to reflect on his work during a historic moment when the country has come up against a pandemic, a racial reckoning, the Jan. 6 insurrection and a new president trying to pave a united path forward.

His work is something to be appreciated, but this isn't something to really expect of people. This man has converted upwards of 100 people over his entire lifetime. That.. is a drop in the bucket, and many people will rightly note that these people largely just are not worth that effort compared to other means of neutralizing them.
