Daryl Davis is an inspirational legendary Blues musician and author who convinced members of the Ku Klux Klan to leave the organization, through intimate conversations and building relationships.
Hear his powerful story while sharing a meal and learn how his example of the power of dialogue can lead to substantive change. Then connect with new friends as we break into groups and discuss issues facing our community.
