How a Black Man Gets KKK Members to Quit with Daryl Davis

Uncommon Ground with Van Jones

“How can you hate me if you don’t even know me?” This is the question that Daryl Davis has spent much of his life trying to answer.

Daryl is a Black musician who spends a surprising amount of time with members of the Ku Klux Klan. How and why does he do this?! Over the last 30 years, Daryl has interviewed senior Klan members, attended Klan rallies and even made friends with Klansmen. In the process, he’s convinced many of them to renounce their affiliation to the KKK and give up their robes.

In this episode, Daryl breaks down WHY he thinks it's important to break bread with those who claim to hate him. And he shows HOW we can all find a way toward more healing and community — even when it seems impossible.

New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.
