Daryl: I just thought I'd meet these people, get my information, write my book, and be done. Never see them again. But when somebody started changing, and then it happened again and again and again, I realized I was on to something. What can be what can be learned can also be unlearned. So I'm making just as much time between my music and doing this kind of work because I love my country and I want to see it improve. We spend too much time in this country talking about the other person...I prefer to talk with the other person,. That has been the key to my success. Mm-hmm. Hey, thanks so
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.
