So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast

Rebroadcast: How Daryl Davis, a black man, defeats the Ku Klux Klan with open dialogue


Listen Later

This episode is a rebroadcast from March 2017. "If you spend five minutes with your worst enemy, you will find you have something in common," said Daryl Davis. "If you spend 10 minutes, you'll find you even have more in common. And the more you find that you have in common and build upon those things, the less the things that you have in contrast will begin to matter, like skin color." Since the early 90s, Davis, a black man, has taken up the curious pastime of befriending members of the Ku Klux Klan. The result? He has dozens of Klan robes at his home that were given to him by former Klan members who shed their racist beliefs after meeting him. On today's episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we explore how open dialogue and debate have shown Davis a path toward a more tolerant future. www.sotospeakpodcast.com Follow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/freespeechtalk Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sotospeakpodcast Email us: [email protected]
