About this listen

In this wide-ranging conversation, renowned musician and activist Daryl Davis shares the remarkable origin story of his unconventional approach to combating racism—from his unique upbringing as an American embassy kid traveling the world, to his shocking introduction to racial hatred at age 10 during a Cub Scout parade, to the night a Klansman bought him a drink in a Maryland bar.

Davis explains the philosophy behind his decades-long mission to sit down with white supremacists, detailing the psychological roots of hatred and the surprising pathways that lead ordinary people into extremist groups. Drawing on his experiences befriending over 200 individuals who have left hate organizations, Davis offers insights into today's fractured political landscape and makes the case that ignorance—not anger—is the true enemy that must be defeated through education and exposure.
