"How can you hate me when you don’t even know me?"

This is one of the questions that prompted Daryl Davis to do the unthinkable as a black man in 1980's America: befriend members of the KKK. Since a fateful interview with Grand Dragon, Robert Kelly, Daryl has used conversation as a tool for dismantling racist beliefs - leading to 20 members, and Kelly himself, leaving the Klan. As well as writing a groundbreaking book on these experiences, he works as an educator on race relations and is a prominent musician.

We are honoured to have Daryl on the show to speak about his experience with understanding the motivations for racism, how ignorance breeds fear and hatred, and how open conversation can be a powerful tool for reaching understanding.
