Maya Shankar sat down with Daryl Davis to talk about the two-clucks clan. The interview was supposed to take place in a hotel room, but it ended up being held at a motel. Maya: "I feared for my life" when Roger Kelly made a threatening noise out of nowhere.
We’re revisiting some of our listeners’ favorite episodes this summer. We kick off the series with our first ever episode: A conversation with the Black jazz musician Daryl Davis. During a performance, a member of the KKK approached him at a bar and his life took an unexpected turn. He ended up inspiring hundreds of people to leave white supremacist groups.
If you enjoyed this episode, Maya suggests you check out this one next: “Leaving a Religious Cult”
We’ll be back with new episodes in the fall. In the meantime, you can connect with Maya on instagram @DrMayaShanker.
