EP121: Daryl Davis Pt 1, Biography of his work - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Meet the man who is practically the patron saint of Gracearchy. Daryl Davis is a blues and rock-n-roll pianist who spent three decades touring with Chuck Berry and other notable acts. Daryl has also been the subject of an award-winning documentary and is a sought-after speaker because... Music is Daryl's profession, but race relations is his obsession.

Daryl is a black man who has 26 KKK robes hanging in his closet. People quit and gave these garments to him! How did this happen? How did he come to this unique and inspirational calling? In Part One of this two-part interview, we explore how Daryl Davis became "The Klan Whisperer."
