For over 20 years, author, activist, and pioneer in race
relations Daryl Davis has been meeting with Klan leaders and asking them
face-to-face: "How can you hate me when you don't even know me?" In a
one-on-one setting, Mr. Davis respectfully but firmly questions and challenges
their ideas about race. Over time, countless Klansman have left the
organization because they grew to respect Mr. Davis as a friend—ultimately resulting
in the single-handed dismantling of the KKK in his home state of Maryland. Come
join the conversation about his experiences and the techniques he has used in
moving towards the eradication of racism. This event celebrates the 15th
anniversary of his critically-acclaimed book, Klan-destine Relationships, which
chronicles his journey in race relations. Mr. Davis will also speak about what
has changed and what remains the same in the 15 years since the book's release.
The event will be held on Wednesday, April 23rd, at
7:30pm in Commencement Hall's Tahoma Room.
Hosted by Students for Liberty and ASUPS Lectures
