Maya Shunker: Convincing someone to change their view of reality is one of the most elusive coveted types of change. Since that car ride 30 years ago, Darryl Davis has gone on to convince dozens of people to leave the Ku Klux Klan. On this show, she'll have intimate conversations with people who've navigated extraordinary change. And hopefully their stories will get us to think differently about change in our own lives.
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.
