Although an accomplished pianist who performed with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, B.B. King, and many more, Daryl Davis’s greatest contribution may be when he opens his mouth not to sing, but to talk with Ku Klux Klan members. With a PBS documentary and two books to his credit, Daryl has been able to sit with Klan members and openly discuss hatred and race unlike any other person of color in the nation. In doing so, dozens of Klan members have turned over their robes to Daryl and quit the Ku Klux Klan.
An Evening with Daryl Davis is more than a lecture; it’s a compelling, real-life story of courage, conversation, and the power of human connection. With grace, humor, and unflinching honesty, Daryl shares how he’s dismantled hate not through force, but through listening and understanding. This evening blends riveting personal stories with a powerful message about empathy, transformation, and the possibility of change, making it essential for anyone interested in social justice, civil dialogue, and building a better world.
